Add git icon to .gitignore_global file

Open duboiss opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

We already have it for gitignore_global but not .gitignore_global.

It would probably be better to have a system where everything that starts with .gitconfig or .gitignore had the icon. This would cover cases like .gitignore_global, .gitconfig_perso... But I'm not sure how to do that.

I’m not sure I understand why we support gitignore_global in the first place; maybe it makes on macOS or Windows?? I guess .gitignore_global makes sense, even though it’s not an hardcoded name in Git or even recommended in its documentation, because it’s almost standard now.

As for supporting, files starting with .git… well, I think people should just put their configuration in ~/.config/git/{config,ignore,etc.} (at least on Linux, not sure how it work for other systems); I don’t think starting to make exceptions for Git is very useful here.
