File Ignore Decorator

Visual Studio Code extension that highlights files and folders listed in ignore files such as .gitignore, .dockerignore, and others, facilitating their visual identification in the editor's file explorer.

The Problem

In development projects, it's difficult to visually identify which files are being ignored by version control systems or build processes, which can lead to confusion and errors when working with files that should be ignored.

The Solution

I developed an extension that automatically analyzes the project's ignore files and applies visual decorators to the corresponding files in the explorer, with configurable opacity and color options for customization.
