Did you know rsync supports providing exclusion filters in files? See `--exclude-from` and `--cvs-exclude`. The latter uses .cvsignore files just like git uses .gitignore (and, I assume, you use .boosteignore).
- edunteman 7y agoActually had not known this, and am glad it was pointed out to me. Thanks!
- pritambaral 7y agoUPDATE: Best option: Use .gitignore files directly: `--filter=':- .gitignore'`. See FILTER RULES in rsync's manpage for explanation.
