How to make Meteor ignore files?

meteor

Solution

There's no such file as `.meteorignore` yet.

Currently the only reliable way to hide a file from Meteor is to make it hidden (add a dot to the beginning of name). You can hide the whole directory, which is useful if you need specific filenames for things like Grunt tasks.

For example if you create a directory called `.hammerTime`, then Meteor can't touch this.

Update: As of Meteor v1.5.2.1, there is support for a `.meteorignore` file. It works exactly the same as a `.gitignore`.

Problem

Is there some specific folder in Meteor file structure which is simply ignored by Meteor? (`meteor bundle` and `meteor deploy` etc) Or better yet: is there a kind of `.meteorignore` file where we can list files for Meteor to ignore?
