How to backup site statics using .gitignore?

Question

git

The bottom line is that in .gitignore those directories in which the upload is made (even if not so, but we will accept this convention). So, according to the rules from this file, files from the corresponding directories (ignore rules) would be backed up.
Who will offer what, colleagues? :)

Answer 1

* Compare the output of git ls-files` and `ls -R`, back up the difference
* Rename `.gitignore` to `.gitignore.disabled`, back up `git diff` , rename back.
