Can I tell tank push_configuration to not push MyFolder/config/.git ?

We are managing config development with Git, but using tank push_configuration for the final deployment from our staging environment to the production environment. This means we have a .git folder in the config folder as follows:

 

> environment/
>> cache/
>> config/
>>> .git/
>>> core/
>>> and so on...
>> install/
>> tank
>> tank.bat

 

However, this means that every time we run tank push_configuration, the .git folder gets copied to the production environment, which we do not want.

I thought this would be addressed by rules in config/core/schema/ignore_files, but obviously this only applies to folders created by Shotgun, not folders copied by tank.

Is there any way to configure tank not to push the .git folder?

    Hi David,

    We don't have a way to do this right now, but I've added a ticket for it and it shouldn't be too hard to incorporate something like this. I

    To clarify, in your workflow, your primary config is not controlled by git, but your cloned config is? Is that right?

    Hi KP,

    Thanks very much. Will you post to this thread on release, or should I watch somewhere else for an announcement?

    Yes, we use Git for config development (the config folder only), and tank for config deployment. We figure Git is not rely designed as a deployment tool, but tank is :D

    We'll update this thread when it's out. Since you started it, you should get a notification.

    For the record, we got this fix for free with some of the changes that came with tk-core v0.18, so it's actually been out for a while!
