When running my RSpec tests from the command line, how can I exclude tests matching a specific tag?

Running tests by their file or directory names is the most familiar way to run tests with RSpec. RSpec can take a file name or directory name and run the file or the contents of the directory. So you can do: rspec spec/jobs to run the tests found in the jobs directory.
RSpec is a testing tool for Ruby, created for behavior-driven development (BDD). It is the most frequently used testing library for Ruby in production applications. Even though it has a very rich and powerful DSL (domain-specific language), at its core it is a simple tool which you can start using rather quickly.
One can stop the RSpec test in the middle by pressing ctrl-C twice.
Use ~@ with the name of the tag, like this:
rspec spec --tag ~@slow
See the docs: https://www.relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-core/docs/command-line/tag-option
I'm now running my tests on Spork, and it seems as though it ignores this directive. Not sure why.
