global git ignore doesn't seem to work

[sixcorners]

Version info

• OS: Windows 10
• Build: 2027 (could you make this about text selectable?)

Description

Global git ignore files seem to be getting ignored.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add a global git ignore file to either of the default locations (~/.config/git/ignore, %USERPROFILE%\git\ignore)
2. Refresh a repository with untracked files that should be ignored

Expected behavior

The untracked files that should be ignored are ignored.

Hi @sixcorners,

Thank you for reporting this issue.

To investigate this further, could you share the Debug Information from Sublime Merge. This can be found by opening the repository Sublime Merge, and selecting Help > Debug Information. Feel free to remove any information you feel is sensitive from the copied debug information (file paths etc).

Thanks, - Dylan

Hi @sixcorners,

Thank you for reporting this - it looks like we have a bug where the repository will not refresh if the global gitignore file is updated. Could you confirm that the global git ignore rules are respected when you manually refresh the repository?

You can do this via Tools > Refresh

Thanks, - Dylan

I have the same issue. Both sublime text and sublime merge don't respect rules in %USERPROFILE%/.config/git/ignore But manually specify a excludesFile works

[core]
    excludesFile = ~/.gitignore
