What version of Oxlint are you using?

1.50.0

What command did you run?

npx oxlint

What does your .oxlintrc.json (or oxlint.config.ts) config file look like?

{
}

What happened?

My folders and files look like this:

• ~ with
  • "*/" in .gitignore
• ~/my-repo with
  • .git
  • src/foo.ts
  • ".DS_Store" in .gitignore

Expected behavior when running oxlint with ~/my-repo is that src/* gets linted, but running OXC_LOG=debug npx oxlint reports:

2026-03-02T05:15:37.432097Z DEBUG ignore::walk: ignoring ~/my-repo/src: Ignore(IgnoreMatch(Gitignore(Glob { from: Some("~/.gitignore"), original: "*/", actual: "**/*", is_whitelist: false, is_only_dir: true })))

Which means that ~/.gitignore is being picked up, which, however, conflicts with https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore#_description:

Patterns read from a .gitignore file in the same directory as the path, or in any parent directory (up to the top-level of the working tree)

So afaik this line should be changed/removed (attribute defaults to true):

/// Whether a git repository is required to apply git-related ignore
/// rules (global rules, .gitignore and local exclude rules).
///
/// When disabled, git-related ignore rules are applied even when searching
/// outside a git repository.
///
/// In particular, if this is false then .gitignore files will be read
/// from parent directories above the git root directory containing .git,
/// which is different from the git behavior.
