Ignore git submodules on publish

[pd4d10]

Environment

• pub version or flutter pub version: 2.5.0
• OS version: macOS 10.15
• Are you using the Chinese community mirror or a corporate firewall? No

Problem

According to this documentation, all files version controlled by git will be published to Pub.

It there a way to ignore git submodules?

For example, in my project, the submodule(react-native-vector-icons, written in JavaScript) is only for Dart code generation. Seems it should not be published to Pub.

No, there is no support for pub-specific ignore patterns at this point.

You can make a bash script that wraps pub publish and copies everything you want to publish into a separate folder.

According to this documentation, all files version controlled by git will be published to Pub.

Close, but not quite. The documentation says that all files ignored by .gitignore will be ignored by pub publish. It will publish files in your folder that are not under git control, if they are not in your .gitignore file.

I think this is somewhat similar to: #2222

OK, get it. Let's track this in #2222. Closing
