Make Jekyll ignore some HTML files

Question

I'm making a theme for Jekyll and I want to make use of some Bower components. However, when I try to build my site, Jekyll tries to process some HTML files inside the components directory. One of the components (Font Awesome) uses Jekyll for its docs, and it includes a non-existent (in my case) template, then all the process fails.

My question is: is there any way to make jekyll ignore all the HTML files inside some directory and copy them as is?

Answer 1

You can exclude files and folders from the conversion process by adding an exclude configuration option to your _config.yml.

This is documented here, under Global Configuration.
