Is it really ignored?

[Lockszmith-GH]

Unsure of what I'm doing wrong:

My .chezmoiignore looks like this:

.local
.local/
.local/bin
.local/bin/

Running cz ignored I get the expected:

> cz ignored
.local
.local/bin

However running cz status:

❯ cz status
MM .local
MM .local/bin

What is going on?

You need to tell chezmoi to ignore the contents of .local/bin, not just the directory, i.e. add some double stars:

.local/bin/**

chezmoi's .chezmoiignore files are similar to, but not identical to .gitignore files. Specifically, git does not manage directories but chezmoi does, so chezmoi needs extra ignore syntax to distinguish between directories and their contents.

Ok, I now see the issue...
I had an external under .local/bin, I'll revisit my architecture, as I'm probably doing something wrong here.
