Question

My GitHub repository includes a /client folder, a /server folder, and a README.md file. I have successfully deployed the server application by specifying the /server directory. However, every time I push changes to the /client folder or the README.md file, it triggers a deployment for my server application.

How can I configure my deployment pipeline to ignore changes in the /client folder and the README.md file to prevent unnecessary deployments?

Hey @prathamjaiswal,

I don’t think that this is possible as of the time being.

The best thing to do to get your voice heard regarding this would be to head over to the DigitalOcean Product Ideas board and post a new idea, including as much information as possible for what you’d like to see implemented.
