 This message occurs because ESLint is unsure if you wanted to actually lint the file or not. As the message indicates, you can use `--no-ignore` to omit using the ignore rules.

+## Including `.gitignore` Files
+
+If you want to include patterns from a `.gitignore` file or any other file with gitignore-style patterns, you can use [`includeIgnoreFile`](https://github.com/eslint/rewrite/tree/main/packages/compat#including-ignore-files) utility from the [`@eslint/compat`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@eslint/compat) package.
+
+```js
+// eslint.config.js
+import { includeIgnoreFile } from "@eslint/compat";
+import path from "node:path";
+import { fileURLToPath } from "node:url";
+
+const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
+const __dirname = path.dirname(__filename);
+const gitignorePath = path.resolve(__dirname, ".gitignore");
+
+export default [
+    includeIgnoreFile(gitignorePath),
+    {
+        // your overrides
+    }
+];
+```
+
+This automatically loads the specified file and translates gitignore-style patterns into `ignores` glob patterns.
