# serverless-ignore [](http://www.serverless.com) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/serverless-ignore) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/serverless-ignore) Serverless plugin to ignore files like a .gitignore #### Why * Remove long list of hardcoded exclude files from serverless.yml * Better managing between different serverless.yml (just add a different .slsignore) * Same approach of .gitignore #### Install `npm install --save-dev serverless-ignore` Note: * for serverless version < 2 use version ^0.1.6 #### Usage Add `serverless-ignore` to your plugins list (serverless.yml) ``` plugins: - serverless-ignore ``` Add a `.slsignore` in your root folder with a .gitignore-like syntax with all the files you want to ignore Example: ``` # it works like a .gitignore # for sls README.md *.log # ignore aws-sdk node_modules/aws-sdk/* .env.example .git/* __tests__/* ```
