Indexing locally

Discussion

Hi I was wondering, how the “indexing” exactly works?

Because it says in your docs it will automatically index my codebase, does that mean if I open an old codebase with Api keys in it in an .env file or something it will automatically upload my apikeys / privateKeys to the cloud? That would be horrible, cause you wouldn’t even be able to set an ignore file in time if it runs automatically.

Thanks for any feedback.

Hey @mhIndexing

Maybe yes, before opening, create a .cursorignore file. More details here: Cursor - Build Software Faster
