Global Git Ignore

[chazmo03]

Describe the problem

When building a project from a template, files that are included in the template that are ignore by a user's global gitignore file (as configured by git's core.excludesFile) will be excluded from the template.

I would expect that files included in the template should be included in the project, regardless of a user's git configuration in their local environment.

One approach to handle this (on git 2.3.1+) could be to override this configuration when running git by using the below environment variables:

GIT_CONFIG_COUNT=1
GIT_CONFIG_KEY=core.excludesFile
GIT_CONFIG_VALUE=""

Template

None

To Reproduce

1. Create a global gitignore file: echo ".envrc" > ~/.gitignore
2. Configure git to use said file: git config --global core.excludesFile '~/.gitignore'
3. Create a template with that file in it: touch .envrc
4. Run copier copy on that template
5. The .envrc file will not be in the new project

Logs

Expected behavior

Any file that is in the template will be included in the created project, even if it would be excluded by the global gitignore file.
