Describe the bug

I cannot select a non git file through the /file command. I know it's my telescope config as well but most people don't show git files in the picker as well ig.

The main aim for this request is to have a better file picking functionality, sometimes I would want to add a non workspace file to the context as well but that isn't possible through the telescope picker.

Steps To Reproduce

use the /file command and search for a file that is gitignored

Expected Behavior

allow arbitrary picking files into the context

init.lua file

--[[
NOTE: Set the config path to enable the copilot adapter to work.
It will search the following paths for a token:
  - "$CODECOMPANION_TOKEN_PATH/github-copilot/hosts.json"
  - "$CODECOMPANION_TOKEN_PATH/github-copilot/apps.json"
--]]
vim.env["CODECOMPANION_TOKEN_PATH"] = vim.fn.expand("~/.config")

vim.env.LAZY_STDPATH = ".repro"
load(vim.fn.system("curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/folke/lazy.nvim/main/bootstrap.lua"))()

      {
        "saghen/blink.cmp",
        lazy = false,
        version = "*",

Have you provided and tested with a repro.lua file?

• Yes, I have tested and provided a repro.lua file

This isn't a bug so I've converted this to a discussion.

Also, we're following the Telescope defaults with the exception of showing hidden files. Isn't this a setting you need to set yourself in your own Telescope config?

EDIT: And if it's the case that your Telescope defaults are not propagating through to CodeCompanion then I would welcome a PR to add that.

This isn't a configuration issue. You can't select mom project files through the telescope picker
