This release introduces the Repomix Explorer plugin for advanced AI-powered codebase analysis and .ignore file support, making Repomix more flexible and powerful for development workflows!
## What's New 🚀
### `.ignore` File Support (#937, #938)
Added support for `.ignore` files, which are used by tools like ripgrep and the silver searcher! This allows you to maintain a single `.ignore` file that works across multiple tools.
```bash
# Enable .ignore file support (enabled by default)
repomix
# Disable .ignore file support
repomix --no-dot-ignore
# Configure in repomix.config.json
{
"ignore": {
"useDotIgnore": false
}
}
```
**Ignore file priority order:**
1. Custom patterns
2. `.repomixignore`
3. **`.ignore`** (new!)
4. `.gitignore`
5. Default patterns
This feature is especially useful for users of ripgrep, ag, fd, and other modern search tools, enabling consistent ignore patterns across your entire toolchain.
### Repomix Explorer Plugin (#908)
Added the **repomix-explorer** Claude Code plugin that enables intelligent, AI-powered exploration and analysis of codebases using natural language!
**Installation:**
```bash
/plugin marketplace add yamadashy/repomix
/plugin install repomix-explorer@repomix
```
**Usage:**
```bash
# Analyze local codebases
/repomix-explorer:explore-local <path-to-repo>
# Analyze remote GitHub repositories
/repomix-explorer:explore-remote <repo-url>
```
The agent executes `npx repomix@latest` to pack the repository, then uses intelligent search strategies to provide comprehensive analysis without overwhelming context limits.
