Ignore Patterns

Ignore patterns let you exclude specific files or directories from being synced between your local and remote sites.

Editing Ignore Patterns

Section titled “Editing Ignore Patterns”

Pattern Format

Section titled “Pattern Format”

Patterns follow a .gitignore-like syntax:

# Directories
node_modules/
.git/
vendor/


# Files
.DS_Store
.env
*.log


# Specific paths
wp-content/cache/
wp-content/uploads/backup/
Section titled “Recommended Ignore Patterns”

These are commonly excluded from sync:

node_modules/
.git/
.DS_Store
.env
*.log
wp-content/cache/
wp-content/upgrade/
wp-content/debug.log

How Patterns Work

Section titled “How Patterns Work”
  • Patterns are applied to both pull and push operations
  • A trailing / matches only directories
  • * matches any sequence of characters within a path segment
  • Patterns are case-sensitive
  • Lines starting with # are comments
