How to blacklist .git directory in each app.

[matutter4]

I have several apps I update directly from github into my /opt/splunk/etc/shcluster/apps directory. The apps each contain their own .git folder.

Is there a way to ignore .git/ in every app so they aren't replicated across my Searchheads?

You should to be able to blacklist your .git folder files from being replicated by adding following to server.conf

conf_replication_summary.blacklist.<name> = <blacklist_pattern>
* Blacklist files to be excluded from configuration replication summaries.

e.g.

conf_replication_summary.whitelist.lookups = (apps/*/.git/*)
