.. rubric:: Command line options

To list *robotidy* command line options run::

    robotidy --help

.. rubric:: Ignored paths

Robotidy reads and ignores paths from ``.gitignore`` and ``--exclude``. You can overwrite default excludes by using
``--exclude`` option. If you want to exclude additional paths on top of those from ``--exclude`` and ``.gitignore`` use
``--extend-exclude`` with pattern::

    robotidy --extend-exclude skip_me.robot|some_dir/* .
