I’ve a hunch I’m going to kick myself, but…
Is there a way to commit files to repo but exclude them from being deployed?
I’ve a very simple static site and deployment using Apps works fine.
However, I’d like to document the repo too and exclude those files from being deployed.
I can’t exclude them with .gitignore
because I’d like them committed to the repo.
I tried .dockerignore
but the files continue to be copied.

Great question, when generating your static site, saving the content you want to deploy to a specific folder, called an output directory, will only deploy those files. Anything not in that folder will not get deployed.
This can be set under the static site component in your apps

tab.
