Thinking that this could be configurable but IMO makes sense to ignore .git by default.

You are the second person to mention ignoring .git files, so I feel I should listen.

I envisaged people using this to see where their disk is being used up. Clearly people have other users, (which is great), but I want to understand why you want to ignore .git files.

hey @bootandy 👋 let do another +1 on the idea. Would love to have a configurable file for ignore. We can take ripgrep and fd approach where they have a global ~/.ignore and also respects current ~/.gitignore

I would love to have an option to ignore hidden files too.

I'll try to get this in but it won't be on by default, you will have to pass a --hide-hidden flag or something.
