Exclude
Add --exclude to your call.
- Notes
- Exclude typically uses a pattern. If you want to exclude from the root of the transfer, prepend
/.
- E.g
rclone --exclude "/project/node_modules" project /some/other/dir/
- Add
--exclude before --stats and --delete if you want it to work.
You can also use --exclude-from and point to a text file list of exclusions.
