Exclude folders when publishing

It is possible to exclude folders from my publish process when deploying my ASP.NET Core application?

Specifically, the bootstrap/js files. These files very rarely change but have made my publish process take forever. I'd like to just be able to exclude them until I know that they have changed.

To exclude specific files from deployment, you could follow below steps:

  • In the Solution Explorer window, right-click the file, and then click Properties.

See the screenshot below:

  • In the Properties window, in the Build Action row, select None

Note: Once you implement above changes your selected file will be excluded from the deployment. You can also do that using XML command on your project csproj file. You can have a look on official guideline for further details.
