So, just like the title of the question entails, my .eslintignore is threated as a markdown file by prettier.
So tl:dr, I only recently started using eslint in projects, and I was surprised to see that when I ctrl+s to save the file, some of the entries were overwritten by prettier and replaced. For example, stuff like
# Minified files
*.min.js
*.min.css
Would be formated to
# Minified files
_.min.js
_.min.css
I solved this by telling prettier to ignore the .eslintignore file by adding an entry to the .prettierignore file, but is this really the intended way of doing so?
