gcloud beta topic gcloudignore - reference for .gcloudignore files

If there is a file called .gcloudignore within the top-level directory being uploaded, the files that it specifies (see "SYNTAX") will be ignored.

Gcloud commands may generate a .gcloudignore file; see the individual command help page for details.

The following gcloud commands respect the .gcloudignore file:

• gcloud app deploy
  • Note: If you add app.yaml to the .gcloudignore file, this command will fail.
• gcloud functions deploy
• gcloud builds submit
• gcloud composer environments storage {dags, data, plugins} import
• gcloud container builds submit
• gcloud run deploy
• gcloud run jobs deploy
• gcloud alpha deploy releases create
• gcloud infra-manager deployments apply
• gcloud infra-manager previews create
• gcloud alpha functions local deploy
• gcloud alpha run jobs deploy
• gcloud beta run jobs deploy

To globally disable .gcloudignore parsing (including default file-ignore behavior), run:

gcloud config set gcloudignore/enabled false

The default content of the generated .gcloudignore file, which can be overridden with --ignore-file, is as follows:

.gcloudignore
.git
.gitignore

/node_modules/
*~

This .gcloudignore (similar to the one generated when Git files are present) would prevent the upload of the .gcloudignore file, the .git directory, and any files in ignored in the .gitignore file:

.gcloudignore
# If you would like to upload your .git directory, .gitignore file or
# files from your .gitignore file, remove the corresponding line below:
.git
.gitignore
#!include:.gitignore

Each line in a .gcloudignore is one of the following:

• pattern: a pattern specifies file names to ignore (or explicitly include) in the upload. If multiple patterns match the file name, the last matching pattern takes precedence.
• comment: comments begin with # and are ignored (see "ADVANCED TOPICS" for an exception). If you want to include a # at the beginning of a pattern, you must escape it: \#.
• blank line: A blank line is ignored and useful for readability.

Some example patterns follow; see the full reference (https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore or man gitignore) for details.

To ignore any file named foo, and any file in the root of the upload directory named bar:

foo
/bar

To ignore any file starting with foo, ending with bar, or starting with baz and ending with qux:

foo*
*bar
baz*qux

To explicitly include any file named foo (useful if foo was excluded earlier in the file) and ignore a file named !bar:

!foo
\!bar

To ignore any directory foo and all its contents (though not a file foo), any file baz, and the directory qux and all its contents:

foo/
**/baz
qux/**

#!include:.gitignore

This will insert the content of a .gitignore-style file named .gitignore at the point of the include line. It does not recurse (that is, the included file cannot #!include another file) and cannot be anywhere but the top-level directory to be uploaded.

To display files that will be uploaded run:
