deployignore

What is deployignore?

Deployignore is a package that uses one command, deployignore, to delete a list of files or folders that you specify in a file called deployignore.json. Keep deployignore.json at the root of your project and commit it to source control. When you're ready to deploy your project, simply run the deployignore command in your project directory as part of your CI or other deployment script. This will delete the files and folders in your deployignore.json file.

Getting Started

To install Deployignore:

Install Node and npm if you haven't already.

Install Deployignore via npm: npm install -g deployignore

Create a deployignore.json file: touch deployignore.json

See the example deployignore.json file below to see what goes in that file.

Running deployignore in your project directory with an empty deployignore.json file should return an exit code of 0.

Documentation

Here's an example deployignore.json file:

[
"file1.txt",
"subdir/subsubdir/file2.txt",
"file3.txt",
"subdir/byebyedir"
]

You can run Deployignore anywhere in your project:

~/my-project $ deployignore

~/my-project/bin/models $ deployignore

(both of these work)

Verbose mode gives extra information:

~/my-project $ deployignore --verbose
