Clean task does not remove dot files

[alefteris]

• Started with the files generated by webapp, I did a build
• I removed the .htaccess, from my app folder and Gruntfile copy task config
• After a build, .htaccess is still in the dist forder

This is deliberate to allow the dist folder to be its own git repository
for deployment purposes. You can still adjust the behavior in the
Gruntfileif you like.

Could this be made more explicit, with a comment maybe? Or even better a rule to exclude just the .git dir/files?

Also what I will need to change in Gruntfile to remove the dotfiles? Thanks.

You could change the dist: ['.tmp', '<%= yeoman.dist %>/*'] to dist: ['.tmp', '<%= yeoman.dist %>'] for the clean task (removing just the whole dist directory instead of just the non-hidden files inside).

@sindresorhus Do you think a comment would be helpful here?

@passy I would rather find a way to clean out everything except for .git. Any ideas?

[passy]

.gitignore would also be useful.

[sindresorhus]

yup

[kevva]

This works.

clean: {
  dist: {
    files: [{
      dot: true,
      src: [
        'dist/*',
        '!dist/.git*'
      ]
    }]
  }
}

@kevva feel free to do that update directly ;)

[kevva]

Yep, done :)))))).

[sindresorhus]

@kevva awesome, thanks for doing this. Keep em coming :D

Tip: use fixes #ticketnumber in commits to close issues directly from the commit and create a reference between them.

Fixed in yeoman/generator-webapp@7616dc4

@kevva could you do the same on generator-angular?

[kevva]

@sindresorhus, I'm on it.
