@joshpassenger sounds like a decent feature. You're welcome to open a PR that supports this and I'll review/accept. One thing I am curious about is why this shouldn't be handled by the build process itself? I imagine the .gitignore at the root of the repo which means you would be deploying a submodule in this case then?

Either way, seems like this makes sense as a general feature, thanks for the suggestion! Let me know if you're interested in implementing it, otherwise it may sit here for a while until I can find someone who has a spare moment.

Hi @fernando-mc I'll have a look at the complexity of implementing it!

It was more for dev deployments from my local machine, I have a .gitignore which would prevent these files from making it to a CICD server via git checkout.

Assign it to me?

@joshpassenger done! Thanks for the reminder 😁
