I have been testing the scripts in this repo and noticed that it isn't ignoring entries listed within my .gitignore. Is it possible to exclude everything listed by git status --ignored?
While .typstignore is fine for specifying what is and isn't packageable source material, relisting everything from the .gitignore isn't feasible. In my case, I am using a generated .gitignore, so I am not sure which patterns are a minimal subset that would need to be included in .typstignore.
I have been thinking about the problem of packaging recently, and I have found that this kind of automated process is rather difficult to do nicely for everyone's use case.
The script package @preview takes 26 seconds on my machine (due to node_modules). I was thinking about whether it is possible/better to use .gitignore to optimise the enumerate function within the script, or if instead there could be a custom section within the typst.toml to configure what to include or exclude for a packaging script or utility.
I want to write my own tool to do this, which I might start soon, but for the moment, I wanted to start some discussion to gain additional input, and also suggest whether or not the exclusion of .gitignore entries is doable for the time being.
