still being bitten by the fact that GitHub’s repo file search stubbornly ignores directories called “build” in the year of luigi twenty gayteen

hi I work at a company called “Buildkite” who make a CI product, half our damn source code is in directories called “build” because that’s the namespace of large percentage of the model objects we use

this sucks

like this actually makes it impossible to search our source code or jump to most files in our repositories on GitHub, which sucks because it’s also the source of truth when addressing specific lines of code?
