Re-implementing PR: https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody/pull/8037
This introduces the ability to exclude files from Cody's context based on the
files.exclude, search.exclude, and .gitignore / .sourcegraph/.ignore.cody/ignorefiles located in the codebase root directory settings in VS Code.The
ContextFiltersProvidernow utilizes these settings to determine if a file should be ignored. This is achieved by:minimatchas a dependency to perform pattern matching.excludePatternGetterto fetch the exclude patterns and workspace folder.This enhancement ensures that Cody respects the user's VS Code settings for excluding files, preventing irrelevant files from being included in the context.
Note: .sourcegraph/.ignore instead of .codyignore so that the same file can be used across sourcegraph products and not just codyTest plan
