How do I make Harp ignores serving some folders/files?

[ajmalafif]

I have a project which subdirectories are bunch of Ghosts directories, but I can't seem to find a guide on how to make that works. Any pointers or help?

@ajmalafif You just need to rename what you want to ignore to start with an underscore.

From the docs

3. Ignore those which start with underscore.
Any files or directories that begin with underscore will be ignored by the server. This is the recommended naming convention for layout and partial files. Harp will honour this rule for both files and directories.

Tried it but it doesn't work though. Hmm..

Will share my findings more here.

@ajmalafif I'd be interested in knowing more details. Its possible that harp already does what you need and if not you may have a use case we want to support.

I think maybe he's asking the question that I have..

Which is, is there anyway to have serve files the way they are?

Ex. Serving a bower_components folder but not having harp change anything inside the folder

@wiiing We have an issue for that #275 and an open PR that needs someone to fix the breaking tests #312. If someone fixes that, we can probably merge it, but otherwise I’m hoping we’ll support ignoring module folders (node_modules, bower_components, etc.) when we add Browserify support.

My guess is the confusion here is around adding a Ghost site inside Harp instead of adding a flattened Harp site to Ghost or just going static with Harp for the entire thing.
