Comments containing {{ and }} break .chezmoiignore on Windows about chezmoi HOT 2 CLOSED

The presence of # … does not mean anything to go templates. If you want to put comments like that, you will need to either use (a) a delimiter directive, (b) template them out ({{ "{{" }}- template "basic.tmpl" . -}}), (c) escape them ({\{- template "basic.tmpl" -}}), or (d) fake them out ([[- template "basic.tmpl" -]]).

This is probably only visible on Windows because of the {{ if eq .chezmoi.os "windows" }} at the beginning. While Go templates more or less parse everything, they do so "opportunistically", so that if an if condition prevents template replacements from being seen, it will not be executed.

Understood, thanks for the info.
