Netlify dont deploy specific folder or files

Question

I have a git a repository set up with CD on Netlify. The site itself is 4 files, but I have some other files I'd like to add to the repository that I don't want deployed. Is there a way to deploy only certain files with a deployment? Or only a specific folder?

My site only requires an http server, there's not an npm, jekyll, or hugo install. It's just the deployment of 4 files.

Answer 1

If you put the files in a specific folder you can set the Base Directory in your Build & Deploy settings to that directory and it will ignore the other files/folders not in that directory.
