serena doesnt include the global gitignore configuration

[ctf0]

for example here is my global gitignore

.history
// ...

and my project gitignore

/vendor
// ...

yet i still need to add the global items to serena config or they will be indexed

ignored_paths: [
  ".history",
  // ...
]

Do the logs indicate that your .gitignore file is read by Serena?

If by "global gitignore" you mean a file which is not in the project folder - then yes, this is currently not handled. Only files in the project folder will be read.

yes thats what i mean, in that case is there away to save a list of items that serena should ignore in any project ?

We should rather just also read the global gitignore config and take it into account

btw serena can sometimes ignore the gitignore items, for example having /vendor or **/vendor/** in gitignore didnt stop serena from trying to index some files under vendor

PS:

this is only catchable when no cache exists
