COPY/ADD command in Dockerfile is not copying .gitignored folder

I have a folder called public

which is gitignored.

I have this Dockerfile

FROM nginx

ADD public /usr/share/nginx/public/
# COPY public /usr/share/nginx/public/
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

Now when I create image, I get this error

Step 2/3 : COPY public /usr/share/nginx/public/
COPY failed: file not found in build context or excluded by .dockerignore: stat public: file does not exist
ERROR
ERROR: build step 0 "gcr.io/cloud-builders/docker" failed: step exited with non-zero status: 1

I figured out if I exclude public folder from gitignore then all is good.

I checked there is no .dockerignore file. Just make sure if it's fallback issue, I created a new .dockerignore file with empty content

Finally figure it out, I was using gcloud build command to create docker file, and seems google by default ignores gitignore files.

https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/topic/gcloudignore

so I created a .gcloudignore file with below content

*

!public
