fd ignores .github directory - include option available?

[maheshsundaram]

What version of fd are you using?
fd 8.1.1

By default fd ignores hidden directories, however I would like it to not ignore the .github directory. If I use the --hidden option, then it also includes .git which I don't want. I haven't seen an option available to explicitly include a directory - is that possible? Or is there a combination of options that would mean ignore vcs but include other hidden directories?

Thank you!

Hm. I think you could use --hidden but then --exclude .git, right?

[maheshsundaram]

@sharkdp Thanks for your reply! Yes I had thought of that but I don't want to include other hidden folders and files that are ignored by version control, so I thought there might be an easier way. No worries though if not

I think you could also list the .github folder as an additional search path. There is no other way, unfortunately.

Requesting a feature, but would it be possible to have a file to add default CLI arguments to fd invocations? ripgrep supports a file-based config for this in ~/.ripgreprc.

That way a ~/.fdrc could have

--hidden
--exclude .git

That are added to all invocations of fd.
