Skip a file during creation of zip

Robin_j1fevv

I want to skip a file named .gitignore during creation of the zip i tried -x and --exclude command but it is not working here is my code .

pipelines:
  branches:
    main:
      - step:
          name: Copy code as ZIP file
          script:
            - apt-get update && apt-get install -y zip
            - git archive --format=zip HEAD -o code.zip -x .gitignore
          artifacts:
            - code.zip

I searched on forum but cannot find any solution

Based on your YML parameter, you can't use -x on the git archive. Instead, try the following example to exclude .gitignore

pipelines:
  branches:
    main:
      - step:
          name: Copy code as ZIP file
          script:
            - apt-get update && apt-get install -y zip
            - git archive --format=zip HEAD -o code.zip ":(exclude).gitignore"
          artifacts:
            - code.zip 

Use ":(exclude).gitignore" to skip .gitignore when it's archiving.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
