the issue is that netlify deploy ignores folders and files whose name starts with a dot. I want to configure it so that it would change this behavior but I’m unable to find how in the documentation. I asked the support chat, chat gpt, searched the docs extensively, and looked at related GitHub issues as well (which directed me here).
how can I do this? again, I want to configure the CLI so that it also deploys files and folders whose name starts with a dot (.).
@loreanvictor I can’t speak with any authority, as I don’t work for Netlify and was unaware of this until I just read your post, but from searching around I believe it’s not supported and you need to use a workaround as outlined in this thread:
yes it appears that way to me to, unfortunately. which is strange, because this is a limitation that seemingly no other major hosting provider has (some others also ignore dot files by default, but they allow configuring that behaviour).
