For example i've got a folder with css-files and i'd like to watch for them. But i'd like to not watch for one css-file.
So:

watch('./folder-to-watch/**/*.css', function(vinyl) {
    log(vinyl.event);
});

Where (or how) should i add the path to ignored file?

As node-glob docs says:

watch(['!folder-to-watch/that-one.css','folder-to-watch/**/*.css'], function(vinyl) {
    log(vinyl.event);
});

Yeah, thanks. It doesn't work, if i use './' in glob pattern(
https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob#dots I think, that dot:true could fix it, doesn't it? How can i set option of glob «dot» to true?

[floatdrop]

@artem-malko it is known bug with ./ in globs - #1, so don't use ./, just type path without it.

[artem-malko]

Ok, but could it helps, to set dot to true?

@artem-malko I don't think chokidar uses node-glob for path's actually, so there is no dot option unfortunately.

Excuse me, but one more question)

What the difference between 'folder-name/.css' and './folder-name/.css' if we have a fs like this:

├── gulpfile.js
└── folder-name

@artem-malko I'm not aware of any difference between folder-name/.css and ./folder-name/.css in this case.

Ok, thanks a lot)
