Does ripgrep respect .ignore file in $HOME directory?

[RayZ0rr]

From the automatic filtering section of the guide

Like .gitignore, a .ignore file can be placed in any directory. Its rules will be processed with respect to the directory it resides in, just like .gitignore.

does it mean that rg will respect ~/.ignore rules because $HOME is the parent of almost all the directory

[BurntSushi]

Yes, when $HOME is the parent of the directory you're searching.

Try **/__pycache__.

[RayZ0rr]

Thanks. That works. Is this intended behavior that **/__pycache__ works when **/__pycache__/* or **/__pycache__/** doesn't?

Possibly not, but it would require an investigation.

Possibly not, but it would require an investigation.

I found issue on this #2770 and your comment confirming this #2836 (comment)
