Deploy with .github folder is not possible

[paulocoutinhox]

Hi,

I need deploy .github folder from my dist directory, but your script remove it hard coded with --exclude.

Can you put option/options to exclude .github folder optional?

Thanks.

We can make this an option if someone would like to make a pull request for it. By default we exclude a series of files that may cause circular deployments. If this were to be supported I think it should provide the same list as it does today by default, but if you add a new input to your workflow like so it should use that list as opposed to the default provided one.

exclude: 
   - .github
   - file.xml

What do you think? We can warn about potential problems in the README.

Before you add the items in --exclude, it should check if these items is not inside clean-exclude list.

Example here:
--exclude ${DefaultExcludedFiles.GITHUB}
