Exclude all markdown files from triggering CI #68221
Conversation
Since 08/09/2021 it's now possible to use wild cards in exclusion patterns: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/release-notes/2021/sprint-192-update#support-for-wild-cards-in-path-filters. Fixing our exclude yml statements to ignore all markdown files in the repo and not just the ones under docs/.

Usually other text formats like .TXT are used as part of the build. I don't think a markdown file contributes in any way to the build and I don't think that we yet have any component in our build that validates markdown files. Ie nuget packages can include markdown files and they theoretically are an input to the Pack target but they aren't validated so it's likely not necessary to run CI for them. |
If I delete a .md that's such an input, could that break the build? If so then after this PR that break would no longer be detected. |

There appears to be some files whose extension end with It looks like the "md" stands for "metadata". I'm not familiar with the Mono build system, so I could not figure out if these are being used or not. |

Oh - such a simple check I didn't think to do. Here's the full list of problematic ones: @akoeplinger do you know whether we can change their extensions, and if so, is there a matching code change to make? |

Yes that should be possible, I opened #68239 |
