Ability to disable one or more .gitignore files without having to use --no-ignore-vcs

[j-lakeman]

Would be quite handy to be able to ignore the content of selectable .gitignore files. Maybe by listing them in the .fdignore, for example: path_to/.gitignore
I came across this issue after integrating fd deeper into my workflows e.g. in combination with fzf.

Nevertheless great application!

Not sure if it helps your use case, but you could do the other way around, and use --no-ignore-vcs, then specify specific .gitignore files to use with --ignore-file

Cheers for the support!
Thing is in my case I only want to exclude a single .gitignore, but keep the individual ones in subfolders and the global git as well as fd one while also having hidden files enabled.

So what I'm doing atm as a workaround is calling fd --hidden --no-ignore-vcs.
I have also tried fd -u --ignore-file .config/fd/ignore.

But with both approaches, I would need to re-enable dozens of .gitignore files buried somewhere in the file system. Hope this helps to clarify!

I see.

That seems like a somewhat unusual use case to me, so I'm not sure it would be worth adding that functionality.

[j-lakeman]

Fair enough.
Is it doable to implement a fdrc like ripgrep does (https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/blob/master/GUIDE.md#configuration-file) instead? That way I could work around my issue and a lot of other possible use cases other folks might have could be covered.

See #362

As a current workaround you can use an alias, or a wrapper script
