| I just tested it. thank you @pd93 It works like a charm <3 however the '!' needs special care as it is special character in YML. without it it is possible to encounter:

There was a problem hiding this comment.
To avoid YAML issues with ! we could move to a proper key like not:, ignore: or exclude:. What do you think?
version: '3' tasks: css: sources: - mysources/**/*.css - exclude: mysources/ignoreme.css generates: - public/bundle.cssI think I would chose exclude:, but I'm open to opinions.

Fixes #225
This PR adds native support for negating a glob pattern in Task. e.g.
It works by looping over an array of patterns in order. If a pattern is normal, the files are added to a map with a value of
true(i.e. the files should be included). if a pattern begins with a!, then all the files matched by that pattern are added to (or updated in) the map with a value offalse(i.e. they should not be included). We then loop through the map and convert all keys with a value oftrueinto a slice. This slice is then sorted and returned.
