How to deploy hidden dotfiles (.env) with rsync-deploy:0.4.0

[Rob Kirby]

Hi, I'm using the rsync-deploy pipe in my pipeline setup and everything is working as expected except for one file that won't copy.

In the root of my project I have a .env.example file which I want to rename .env and deploy to the server with rsync but it never appears on the server, is there some flags or args I can use on the rsync pipe to make this work?

Heres my pipelines set up, the last step has the rsync pipe

Hi @Rob Kirby, try passing only 

'${BITBUCKET_CLONE_DIR}/'

as a LOCAL_PATH without an asterisk.

Thanks @Alexander Zhukov , that was the problem :)
