⚠️ This post is over one year old. It may no longer be up to date or relevant. Opinions may have changed.

Deeper into the rabbit hole:

     shell
     
% fd Dockerfile.dockerignore | xargs -n 1 rename 's/Dockerfile\.dockerignore/.dockerignore/'

The pre-commit identify library currently mistags these files as Dockerfiles, even though they are not¹, which creates all sorts of issues.

They are akin to .gitignore files in terms of structure. ↩︎
