Ignoring a Directory

In some cases, you may want to prevent Terrateam from running plans or applies within certain directories of your repository. Ignoring a directory in Terrateam can be helpful for directories that contain supporting files, documentation, or other resources unrelated to Terraform infrastructure.

How to Ignore a Directory

To ignore a directory in Terrateam, add it to the dirs section in your .terrateam/config.yml file and set when_modified.file_patterns to empty.

Here’s an example of how to ignore the docs directory:

dirs:
  docs:
    when_modified:
      file_patterns: []

The docs directory will be ignored by Terrateam, so changes to it will not trigger any plans or applies.
