How to prevent Azure CLI's `swa deploy` from creating a .ZIP folder?

Question

Every time I deploy an Azure static web app using swa deploy, it creates an unnecessary .zip folder at the root of my application:

Found no option in the docs to disabled this, so for now I have to delete these folders manually every time I make a deployment.

Answer 1

Not that this prevents the zip files from being created, but I did add *.\\* to my .gitignore so that at least these aren't seen by git. Might also be worth adding a post build command to remove these on deploy.
