Restrict stylelint to only css and scss files

Question

I'm trying to configure stylelint to only lint my CSS and/or SCSS files. I'm extending stylelint-config-recommended but by default it seems to be processing loads of other files as well as the .css and .scss ones I want to lint.

Examples of files I don't want to include:

• .js
• .cshtml

Looks like you can use a "exclusion" glob like this:

.stylelintignore

node_modules
bin
obj
*.*
!*.css
!*.scss

Curious. !*.scss only works for me if I also include the *.* line. Do you happen to know why that is? – Daubigny

I have similar problem - when passing wrong file to styllint it gives error even file is in .stylelintignore node ./node_modules/.bin/stylelint dont-check-this-file.yml This is error I got when specify linter ignored file: Error: No files matching the pattern "/home/user/some-path/dont-check-this-file.yml" were found. at globby.then.filePaths (/home/user/some-path/node_modules/stylelint/lib/standalone.js:206:17) at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7) – Cuenca
