rust_doctor::repo::unignored_build_output

Add the target directory to .gitignore so build artifacts stay out of the repository; the directory judged is Cargo's, including a custom target-dir set in .cargo/config.toml, and any ignore source git honors counts.

What it reads

What git tracks.

Tier

Lowest tier: real, and rarely urgent.

The tier bounds how severe a rule may be; its category bounds the tier.

Change it

Turn it off, or make it blocking, without touching the code it flags:

rust-doctor --rule rust_doctor::repo::unignored_build_output=off .
rust-doctor --rule rust_doctor::repo::unignored_build_output=error .

Set it once in rust-doctor.toml
