Describe the feature

I like to have ~/src open in Zed which includes a lot of code from all my projects.

It looks like this:

The issue I am hitting though is that I have some folders that are git ignored like for example solid-ui folder.

It's git ignored here: https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/ts/blob/main/.gitignore#L18

This shows what my issue is:

Please provide a way to tell Zed to still be able to search git ignored folders/files. Perhaps in a similar way to how VSCode lets you do by editing .vscode/settings.json

I can create .zed/settings.json in ~/src where I give the paths that I want to include in the search for the project. Same for paths I want to exclude too.

Thank you.
