This surfaced in 11ty/eleventy#893

Eleventy normally ignores files in .gitignore, and this also applies to addWatchTarget. A related option — not referenced in the addWatchTarget documentation — allows to revert this behaviour.

  eleventyConfig.setUseGitIgnore(false);
  eleventyConfig.addWatchTarget("./folder-in-gitignore/your-watch-target");

It makes perfect sense to skip .gitignore files and folders during a build, but being aware of this behavior might help developers unaware of the inner behavior of 11ty.
