How to deploy files that are ignored by git?

Question

git

For example, there is a project, a website in PHP, and it has a huge images folder and you don’t want to push it into git, but it’s important for every developer to transfer it so that the site is displayed correctly. What are the common practices?

Answer 1

Such folders usually live separately on the server and are linked to the project during deployment. You can also use separate servers or clouds ala Amazon s3

Answer 2

Put a .gitignore file with the value * in the folder and do git add images/.gitignore
