MinusX
======

MinusX is a utility that finds files that shouldn't have a
[UNIX executable mode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modes_%28Unix%29).

Files that are marked as executable must either have a MIME type of
`application/x-executable` or `application/x-sharedlib`, or start with
a [shebang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_%28Unix%29).

It can be installed via composer:

`composer require mediawiki/minus-x --dev`

Usage:

`minus-x check .`

And to automatically fix errors:

`minus-x fix .`


If you want to ignore a specific file or directory from being checked,
create a `.minus-x.json` in the repository root:

```
{
	"ignore": [
		"./bin/executable"
	],
	"ignoreDirectories": [
		"./extensions"
	]
}
```

The directories `.git`, `vendor`, and `node_modules` are always ignored.
