Respect .gitignore except for certain patterns

[casr]

I want to list out all useful files in the repository I'm working in (think input to a fuzzy finder).

Here's an example file layout to work with:

.
├── .env
├── .env.development
├── .env.development.local
├── .env.example
├── .env.production
├── .git
│   ├── COMMIT_EDITMSG
│   ├── ... etc
│   └── refs
├── .gitignore
├── .prettierrc
├── Component.tsx
├── node_modules
│   ├── .package-lock.json
│   └── ... etc
├── package-lock.json
├── package.json
├── README.md
└── tsconfig.json

With a `.gitignore` that looks like:

/node_modules/
.env
.env.*
!.env.example
!.env.*.local

Desired output is:

.env
.env.development
.env.development.local
.env.example
.env.production
.gitignore
.prettierrc
Component.tsx
package-lock.json
package.json
README.md
tsconfig.json

---

What I tried

Let's start with:

rg --files

Output:

.env.development.local
.env.example
tsconfig.json
Component.tsx
package.json
package-lock.json
README.md

Files that I still want are .prettierrc and all files beginning with .env regardless of if they're in the .gitignore. Let's try with --hidden to at least get .prettierrc:

rg --hidden --files

Output:

.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG
.git/index
.git/refs/heads/main
.git/hooks/push-to-checkout.sample
.git/hooks/update.sample
.git/hooks/pre-push.sample
.git/hooks/pre-applypatch.sample
.git/hooks/pre-merge-commit.sample
.git/hooks/post-update.sample
.git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg.sample
.git/hooks/pre-receive.sample
.git/hooks/fsmonitor-watchman.sample
.git/hooks/applypatch-msg.sample
.git/hooks/pre-commit.sample
.git/hooks/sendemail-validate.sample
.git/hooks/pre-rebase.sample
.git/hooks/commit-msg.sample
.git/description
.git/logs/refs/heads/main
.git/logs/HEAD
.git/info/exclude
.git/HEAD
.git/objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
.git/objects/b6/0c1b5c92873bcebbd379d5d04ed2d520907f81
.git/objects/c1/dd4c3d7b2ad4d72236c439c541cfa3cbaa1c1d
.git/objects/c8/2559bee9d4fbe1d64b47677be4646db6c527bc
.git/config
.env.development.local
.env.example
tsconfig.json
Component.tsx
.prettierrc
package.json
package-lock.json
.gitignore
README.md

Doh, now all of .git/* is included. Let's try to glob that away:

rg --hidden --glob='!.git/' --files

Output:

.env.development.local
.env.example
tsconfig.json
Component.tsx
.prettierrc
package.json
package-lock.json
.gitignore
README.md

Great. Back on track. Now to try to show .env*, try with a glob again:

rg --hidden --glob='!.git/' --glob='.env*' --files

Output:

.env.development
.env.development.local
.env.example
.env
.env.production

Now that's included all the .env* files I wanted but excluded everything else.

The following I think this is the right output but it's not very efficient and I would ideally like it as one command so it can avoid using a shell:

rg --glob='.env*' --files; rg --hidden --glob='!.git/' --glob='!.env*' --files
