Fix: black only respects the root gitignore. (#2225) 
Commit history before merge:

Black now respects .gitignore files in all levels, not only root/.gitignore file
(apply .gitignore rules like git does).

* Fix: typo
* Fix: respect .gitignore files in all levels.
* Add: CHANGELOG note.
* Fix: TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'PathSpec'
* Update docs.
* Fix: no parent .gitignore
* Add a comment since the if expression is a bit hard to understand
* Update tests - conver no parent .gitignore case.
* Use main's Pipfile.lock instead

  The original changes in Pipfile.lock are whitespace only. The changes
  turned the JSON's file indentation from 4 to 2. Effectively this
  happened: `json.dumps(json.loads(old_pipfile_lock), indent=2) + "\n"`.

  Just using main's Pipfile.lock instead of undoing the changes because
  1) I don't know how to do that easily and quickly, and 2) there's a
  merge conflict.

File collection and discovery

You can directly pass Black files, but you can also pass directories and Black will walk them, collecting files to format. It determines what files to format or skip automatically using the inclusion and exclusion regexes and as well their modification time.

Ignoring unmodified files

Black remembers files it has already formatted, unless the --diff flag is used or code is passed via standard input. This information is stored per-user. The exact location of the file depends on the Black version and the system on which Black is run. The file is non-portable. The standard location on common operating systems is:

  • Windows: C:\\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\black\black\Cache\<version>\cache.<line-length>.<file-mode>.pickle
  • macOS: /Users/<username>/Library/Caches/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.<file-mode>.pickle
  • Linux: /home/<username>/.cache/black/<version>/cache.<line-length>.<file-mode>.pickle

file-mode is an int flag that determines whether the file was formatted as 3.6+ only, as .pyi, and whether string normalization was omitted.

To override the location of these files on macOS or Linux, set the environment variable XDG_CACHE_HOME to your preferred location. For example, if you want to put the cache in the directory you're running Black from, set XDG_CACHE_HOME=.cache. Black will then write the above files to .cache/black/<version>/.

.gitignore

If --exclude is not set, Black will automatically ignore files and directories in .gitignore file(s), if present.

If you want Black to continue using .gitignore while also configuring the exclusion rules, please use --extend-exclude.
