add an `--ignore-matching-lines` option as for `git diff`

See original GitHub issue

It would be nice if you could add the --ignore-matching-lines option as for git diff to VSCode.

(This feature is e.g. already present in WinMerge.)

@lszomoru I wasn’t able to build vscode properly that time. Because of that I wasn’t able to proceed further, so I have lost track of it now. I would try once again and if problem arises I would comment here. Does that work?

@lszomoru This time I tried to build it on Docker by following this Build Guide, but it gave the following build error. Am I missing something?

I ran yarn install which successfully installed all the dependencies.

node ➜ /workspaces/vscode $ yarn install

But on running bash scripts/code.sh gave the following build error. Is it related to allocation of resources for docker container. I have WSL2 integration on so there is no option for setting RAM allocations.

node ➜ /workspaces/vscode $ bash scripts/code.sh
yarn run v1.22.19
$ node build/lib/electron
