WHY are these changes introduced?
We should avoid "dirtying" the host application's
.gitignore
.WHAT is this pull request doing?
Instead of writing to the host application's
.gitignore
to hide the.shopify
directory, we can write a.gitignore
in the directory itself, which makes the directory self-ignoring.How to test your changes?
Test coverage should be good enough, but you could use the previous version of the CLI to perform a task which writes to
.gitignore
, and inspect that it wrote to it, then repeat that task using this branch and ensure the.shopify
directory and its contents remain ignored even if.gitignore
doesn't contain.shopify
.Post-release steps
