How to exclude files from pub publish for Dart packages?

Question

Is there any way to exclude certain files or directories from pub publish for dart packages?

I am publishing a package that has so many screenshots. I want them to upload on GitHub but not on Pub.Dev. The intention behind this is to reduce the package size.

Answer 1

You can now create a .pubignore file to do this. See this PR for more details on how this works.

Answer 2

Clearing git cache from my PC works for me:

git rm -r --cached .
