I never (so far) used LLM for "code assistance". However I would not want to use a route of sending everything in to OpenAI (or similar).

Maybe offer some sort of `.*ignore` that includes files to be excluded in the (API) request.

Thanks for the feedback I already use the .gitignore file to decide which files I should ignore. I should also add an option to add more files to the ignore list as well.

Yes but while adding files to .gitignore will not send these to AI using your tool, it will break a project that uses your tool. Hence the idea of a separate ignore file to git, but with similar behaviour to gitignore.

Yes, I completely agree. This is what I meant, but I wasn't clear enough. I'm working on adding `.czignore` functionality right now.

Fixed. You can use version 0.3.0 that supports .czignore with the same format as .gitignore
