Remove unneeded files from our release zip file
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Our release zip file seems to contain some files that aren't useful. For example, I think that Jest and TypeScript files (among others) are unneeded when distributing to WordPress.org.
Describe the solution you'd like
Identify the unneeded files that get bundled in our release .zip file, and take care not to include them there.
Agreed! I think we can safely remove the tests directory, and all the ts, tsx, and scss files from the built version, since essentially those are bundled in the build/ directory.
Although, I'm not sure if it's against WordPress.org Plugin Directory TOS to not include the source files in the plugin, but we can investigate that.
Thoughts?
Yeah, if we risk a TOS violation, we definitely should not do it. I can try to ask around about this.
