> Return true if a file path is (or has) a dotfile. Returns false if the path is a dot directory.
## Install
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
```sh
$ npm install --save is-dotfile
```
## Usage
To be considered a dotfile, it must be the last filename in the path, like `.gitignore`. Otherwise it's a [dot directory](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/is-dotdir), like `.git/` and `.github/`.
```js
var isDotfile = require('is-dotfile');
```
**false**
All of the following return `false`:
```js
isDotfile('a/b/c.js');
isDotfile('/.git/foo');
isDotfile('a/b/c/.git/foo');
//=> false
```
**true**
All of the following return `true`:
```js
isDotfile('a/b/.gitignore');
isDotfile('.gitignore');
isDotfile('/.gitignore');
//=> true
```
