Exclude files and folders from uploading and downloading
Exclude files and folders from upload, download, and synchronization to prevent accidental updates during file transfers. Excluding media, caches, and temporary files that you do not need also reduces unnecessary transfers and resource use.
You may need to exclude files and folders in the following cases:
You work with source code created and uploaded outside GoLand. Download the files you need and open them as a project. Exclude source files that should not be updated and remote media, caches, or temporary files that you do not need.
You have already downloaded files from the server and opened them as a project in GoLand. Exclude files or folders to prevent later uploads or downloads from overwriting the copies you want to keep.
Your local application contains source code and other files that the server does not need. Exclude those files from upload, and exclude any source files that should not be overwritten during transfers.
Use Excluded Paths in a deployment configuration to exclude specific files or folders. Use Exclude items by name in the deployment options to exclude matching file and folder names across configurations.

In the Options dialog that opens, specify the patterns that define the names of these files and folders in the Exclude items by name field.
Use semicolons
;as delimiters, asterisks*to match zero or more characters, and question marks?to match a single character.For example, if you have a folder stylesheets with three files style.css, style1.css, and style2.scss, then
style*excludes the entire folder,style?.cssexcludes style1.css, andstyle?.*excludes style1.css and style2.scss.Learn more from Regular-Expressions.info.
The exclusion is applied recursively. This means that if a matching folder has subfolders, the contents of these subfolders are not deployed either.
Remove the exclusion mark
Select a file or folder to upload/download and choose Remove Path from Excluded from the context menu.
Returning a folder to upload/download affects all its subfolders and files.
