Hi!
Sure, this is possible with custom To respect '.gitignore', its code should find proper '.gitignore' file(s) and decide whether input path should be ignored. Alternatively, it could use Another approach is to hard-code some common block patterns for yourself. That said, it won't be built-in neither into 'mini.files' code nor documentation, as I strongly believe that file explorer should show all files present on the disk. |

Hi!
Sure, this is possible with custom
content.filterfunction. Albeit it is slightly tricky ascontent.filtertakes single file system entry as input.To respect '.gitignore', its code should find proper '.gitignore' file(s) and decide whether input path should be ignored.
Alternatively, it could use
git check-ignoreshell command for each file path.Another approach is to hard-code some common block patterns for yourself.
