It is understanding Cursor doesn’t make indexing for those in .cursorindexingignore configuration. However, Cursor also ignore all files in .gitignore configuration, it doesn’t index or have visibility for them.
I write the files in .gitignore only to avoid unnecessary including in my repository but these files could be useful for context awareness, is there a way to make Cursor take them into reference? I appreiciate.
Hey, try removing it from this list.
Actually it doesn’t appear in Global Cursor Ignore List at all. Here I explain my use case more, in my working directory, there is a sub-folder named “reference_src”, which includes necessary code for Cursor‘s reference in order to have better context, but “reference_src” is not part of my application and I don’t want it visible in git repository, the only way I can do is to add “reference_src” folder in .gitignore hence it causes Cursor to ignore it in indexing or any other kind of context code reference.
Ah, I misunderstood you. You need the directory to be indexed but not included in your repository. You just need to create a .cursorindexingignore file if it doesn’t exist yet and add the following line in your case: !path/to/folder. This way, that folder will be indexed by Cursor.
Thank you, it works!
