Ignoring Files

OpenCode's content searches use ripgrep, which respects .gitignore patterns by default. This keeps ordinary searches from getting blasted by node_modules/ or dist/ folders. That said, explicit file patterns can override those exclusions, and the agent can still read ignored files directly if needed.

You don't really need anything AI-specific here. Just make sure you actually .gitignore generated files and dependencies like you normally would:

• Build output (dist/, build/, generated assets)
• Dependency trees (node_modules/, .venv/)
• Large logs and temporary dumps
• Binary blobs that won't help code reasoning

You might want OpenCode searches to include a path covered by .gitignore, or to exclude a path without changing which files Git tracks. To override ripgrep's default search behavior, create a .ignore file in your project root:

!dist/
fixtures/xl-dump.json

The ! pattern re-includes dist/ in search results, while the regular pattern excludes fixtures/xl-dump.json.

Tell OpenCode to add the Sloperator playground's logs/ directory to .gitignore and uv.lock to .ignore (so Git can still track it).

Then tell OpenCode to run and submit the CLI tests from the project root.
