hey all i want to organize my projects docs inside the project folder, for example:

- projects
  - a
    - docs
  - b
    - docs

i'm using poly/projects-to-deploy to determine changes and deployments i dont want to deploy a project (and its dependencies) when the docs change how can i achieve that? is there some "poly.ignore"? i want to avoid creating a root folder "docs" with sub folders duplicated as the projects

thanks for your reply the "project-to-deploy" tracks changes via git on the project folder and its dependencies (components + bases)? or just what's under src / resources?

If you do poly diff it will call a git command, see example https://cljdoc.org/d/polylith/clj-poly/0.3.32/doc/git:

bases/cli/deps.edn
bases/cli/resources/cli/.keep
bases/cli/src/se/example/cli/core.clj
bases/cli/test/se/example/cli/core_test.clj
build.clj
components/user/deps.edn
components/user/resources/user/.keep
components/user/src/se/example/user/core.clj
components/user/src/se/example/user/interface.clj
components/user/test/se/example/user/interface_test.clj
deps.edn
development/src/dev/lisa.clj
projects/command-line/deps.edn
workspace.edn

Based on this output, it recognises components/, bases/ , and so on. Here it will treat the user component as changed for example. If you have a changed file in e.g. projects/myproject/doc if will identify myproject as changed. The fix is to list directories and/or files in a key in workspace.edn and then exclude these (probably with some kind of regex). That would solve your problem.

i see so instead of using poly/projects-to-deploy you suggest using diff and filter them out based on the workspace edn key did i get it right?

tengstrand 2026-02-11T11:12:04.358379Z

No, I mean when we have support for excluding files from the calculation that returns the changed files, commands like poly ws get:changes:changed-or-affected-projects will also work correctly, because everything is based on that git diff under the hood.

ohh i see.. ok thanks!

tengstrand 2026-02-11T11:17:17.906139Z

Do you want me to create an issue?

itaied 2026-02-11T11:18:18.001229Z

no i will do it i will find time in the upcoming days for an issue and maybe a pr, depends how difficult it will be

tengstrand 2026-02-11T11:21:39.831379Z

Sounds good.

tengstrand 2026-02-10T10:00:14.204589Z

We don't have support for that, but it wouldn't be too hard to support. You can create an issue if you want, and describe the needs.
