Exclude a folder inside static

support

Am trying to exclude a folder inside static folder from the build. I have added the following to config.yaml but it doesn’t seem to work.

ignoreFiles: 
  - "/static/admin/.*"

Any tips?

ignoreFiles…

will cause Hugo to ignore content files

So this:

ignoreFiles: 
  - "/static/admin/.*"

Will not build these:

content
└── static
    └── admin
        ├── bar.md
        └── foo.md

Related:

You cannot currently exclude anything from the static directory.

ignoreFiles also works for files and folders under the dataDir.
