Trouble searching through hidden subdirectories

[ahonnecke]

Why doesn't this command not find the file ./repo/.github/workflows/unit-test.yml

ahonnecke@pop-os:~/tmp$ rg --hidden 1dc5 .*    
.github/workflows/unit-test.yml
27:          ID: 1dc5

Results don't include hidden subdir
This search should have returned both ./repo/.github/workflows/unit-test.yml and .github/workflows/unit-test.yml but it only returned .github/workflows/unit-test.yml

ahonnecke@pop-os:~/tmp$ grep 1dc5 ./repo/.github/workflows/unit-test.yml
          ID: 1dc5

Because of your .* glob. That will expand to any file or directory in the current working directory that starts with a .. .github starts with a dot, but repo does not, so repo is never searched.

[ahonnecke]

I'm seemingly confused as to what the --hidden flag does; How do I instruct rg to recursively search hidden sub directories?

ahonnecke@pop-os:~/tmp$ rg --hidden 1dc5
ahonnecke@pop-os:~/tmp$ rg --hidden 1dc5 *
ahonnecke@pop-os:~/tmp$ rg --hidden 1dc5 repo/.github/*
repo/.github/workflows/unit-test.yml
27:          ID: 1dc5

[ahonnecke]

Even specifying repo doesn't work:

ahonnecke@pop-os:~/tmp$ rg --hidden 1dc5 repo/
ahonnecke@pop-os:~/tmp$ rg --hidden 1dc5 ./repo/
ahonnecke@pop-os:~/tmp$ rg --hidden 1dc5 ./repo/*

Please either show the output with the --debug flag or provide a way for me to access your corpus.

[BurntSushi]

Yes, the answer is right there in the debug output. ripgrep is telling you that it's ignoring that directory not because it's hidden but because of a rule in your ~/.rgignore file:

DEBUG|ignore::walk|/usr/share/cargo/registry/ripgrep-12.1.1/debian/cargo_registry/ignore-0.4.16/src/walk.rs:1730: ignoring repo/.github: Ignore(IgnoreMatch(Gitignore(Glob { from: Some("/home/ahonnecke/.rgignore"), original: ".git*", actual: "**/.git*", is_whitelist: false, is_only_dir: false })))
