VSTS Copy files to remote machine via SSH

Question

I am deploying my project on Linux based VM via Copy Files Over SSH step in VSTS build definition. Below is the folder structure.

root
 -- .git
 -- .gitignore
 -- folder1
 -- folder2
 .
 .
 .

I want to ignore .git folder when copying file to Linux based staging server (VM on Azure). I tried below minimatch patterns but none of them working.

**/!(.git)
**/!.git

Let me know what i am missing and how can i ignore the .git folder. I tried looking on internet but nothing found.

Answer 1

解决方法是（忽略.git文件夹中的所有文件）：

!**/.git/**

Answer 2

根据https://www.visualstudio.com/zh-CN/docs/build/steps/deploy/copy-files-over-ssh上的信息，以下方法应该起作用：

!**/.git

Answer 3

The pattern box is multi line and should have an entry per line:

**

!**\\folderodontwant*

This way you can have multiple exclusion and inclusions with less complexity.
