Ignore Template Files #
Add an .eleventyignore
file to your input directory (or your project root New in v0.7.0) for a new line-separated list of files (or globs) that will not be processed by Eleventy. Paths listed in your project’s .gitignore
file are automatically ignored.
If you do not have a
.gitignore
file in your project, the node_modules
directory will be ignored automatically.Example #
Filename .eleventyignore
README.md
_drafts/
secretNunjucksTemplates/anotherFolder/**/*.njk
Opt-out of using .gitignore
New in v0.3.5 #
You can disable automatic use of your .gitignore
file by using the Configuration API method: eleventyConfig.setUseGitIgnore(false);
.
Filename .eleventy.js
module.exports = function(eleventyConfig) {
eleventyConfig.setUseGitIgnore(false);
};
When using .gitignore
is disabled, .eleventyignore
will be the single source of truth for ignored files. This also means that your node_modules
directory will be processed unless otherwise specified in your .eleventyignore
file.
