Exclude specific directories, files, or file types from analysis
Exclude a directory, file, or file type by adding it to the ignore list. Adding a file type to the ignore list tells Flow to ignore that file type and remove it from reports. When you ignore a file type, Flow automatically reprocesses the repository and the file type no longer appears in reports.
Ignoring file types applies to files at the repo level, not at the integration and organization levels. If you want to exclude file types for multiple repos, you must add the exclusion for each repo.
Exclude or add specific directories, files, or file types by repo
Click Settings in the top navigation of Flow.
In the left navigation under Integrations, click Repos.
Select the repos you wish to edit the paths to ignore the file.
Click Edit Paths to Ignore from the drop-down menu.
Update the list.
Click Save.
Click Confirm to confirm your changes. If your changes are successful, you will see Success! message.
Select the repo you edited to view your changes. Update the paths to ignore file if necessary.
