Chezmoi dont seem to read from my .chezmoiignore file
Closed this issue · 5 comments
What exactly are you trying to do?
I want to add a .chezmoiignore file and add files or extensions to be ignored by chezmoi.
What have you tried so far?
I've added .chezmoiignore to ~/.local/share/chezmoi, also tried to add it to differnet places, like where the file i want to exclude is.
The files i thought should be ignored is not ignored, and when i run chezmoi ignored it does not list anything.
Where else have you checked for solutions?
- I have read chezmoi's user guide, and not found the answer.
- I have searched chezmoi's reference guide, and not found the answer.
- Other, please give details.
Output of any commands you've tried with --verbose flag
$ chezmoi --verbose $COMMANDOutput of chezmoi doctor

You need to provide more information. What exactly did you try?
If your dotfiles are in a public repo, pointing us to that will help us diagnose potential issues much faster. If not, an example of the .chezmoiignore file(s) you are using would be good to see.
Additionally, if you have set .chezmoiroot, your .chezmoiignore file needs to be in the root directory inside the working tree, not in your working tree. That is, if your working tree is ~/.local/share/chezmoi and you have .chezmoiroot set to home, then your ignore file would be at ~/.local/share/chezmoi/home/.chezmoiignore.
Your dot_config/nvim doesn't look right. Did you copy/install it from somewhere else (and if so, how?) or create it from scratch?
The dot_chezmoiignore file present in that directory will not work as expected, and indicates that you added it (or its containing directory) with chezmoi add.
I'm not sure how you ended up with many files with the executable_ attribute.
The entries in .chezmoiignore are target paths which are relative to the destination directory. Based on your current dot_config/nvim directory, you would probably need to add something like .config/nvim/lua/plugins/lazygit.lua to your .chezmoiignore.
I would recommend backing up dot_config/nvim somewhere and recreating it from scratch. You can do this either by creating the directories and files (complete with the required source state attributes) manually inside your source directory (default: ~/.local/share/chezmoi) and running chezmoi apply or by creating the files in your destination directory (default: ~) without any source state attributes and then running chezmoi add ~/.config/nvim.
Hey. Thanks for your replies. Im not sure i recall how i added it but i thinki did somthing like chezmoi add .config/neovim.
I also thought it was wierd with the naming prefix executable_,
I will try to recreate from scratch.
Ill close this and give that a try. Thanks again!
