Very useful. Minor typo in the post if you're adding the claude code flag: it's "respectGitIgnore" not "respectGitignore". [probably not true, see below]
Thanks, but I think it's the other way round. The docs, the published JSON schema and the binary itself all spell it respectGitignore, lowercase i, named after the .gitignore file. <a href="https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings-reference#respectgitignore" rel="nofollow">https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings-reference#respectgi...
When I first added it as "respectGitignore" it had no effect and my ignored folder did not show in the @ list. I changed it to "respectGitIgnore" and saved settings.json and the folder did show in the @ list. Then, after a claude restart, the folder stopped showing up. I edited and saved settings.json (but maintained the spelling "respectGitIgnore" and the folder started showing up again. Then after a coding session it stopped showing up, and changing the case of the 'i' and saving hasn't restored the behavior I want... so it just seems flaky at this point.
