My problem is that I use my home directory as a git repo to manage my dotfiles, so there is a ~/.gitignore that ignores everything except some files. The problem is fd won't work by default at this situation. Although there is a --no-ignore-vcs, but I still want .gitignore to be respected when I am in a project directory.

Ripgrep has a flag --no-ignore-parent that can ignore .gitignore in parent directory, which works well enough. A even better solution could introduce a new flag to exclude certain .gitignore only, such as fd --no-ignore-file ~/.gitignore.

I'm okay with adding a new option, analogous to ripgrep.
