I've only just seen your response, apologies!
Just tried this out and it works like a charm, thank you!

Thanks for keeping this gist alive!

I was getting an error with @reywood's snippet, this one worked for me:

{
    "folders":
    [
        {
            "follow_symlinks": true,
            "path": "/Users/viget/Projects/ccusa"
        }
    ],

    }
}
