To skip certain files use:
-brakeman --skip-files file1,file2,etc
+brakeman --skip-files file1,file2,dir1/
-Note Brakeman does “whole program” analysis, therefore skipping a file may affect warning results from more than just that one file.
+Values ending in /
will cause Brakeman to skip any file with a matching directory anywhere in the path.
+To be more specific, start the directory name with /
(e.g., /app/some_dir/
). The directory will be matched relative to the root of the project being scanned.

+(Note Brakeman does “whole program” analysis, therefore skipping a file may affect warning results from more than just that one file.)
The inverse but even more dangerous option is to specific which files to scan:
-brakeman --only-files some_file,some_dir
+brakeman --only-files some_file,some_dir/
Again, since Brakeman looks at the whole program, it is very likely not going to behave as expected when scanning a subset of files. Also, if certain files are excluded Brakeman may not function at all.
