How to include specific hidden file/folder in search result when using telescope.nvim?

Question

I'm using neovim and Telescope as a finder (find_files, live_grep, file_browser), by default Telescope is ignoring hidden files and files included in .gitignore - how can I add exception (e.g. .gitlab-ci file/folder) to this list? so Telescope will still ignore hidden files except .gitlab-ci file/folder?

Answer 1

Use default filter ignore pattern like this:

telescope.setup {
  ....
  defaults = {
   ....
   file_ignore_patterns = {
     "node_modules", "build", "dist", "yarn.lock"
   },
  }
}

I know you can find this in someone's vimrc files or telescope docs. But may help some newbies.
