# The Problem Hidden files and directories (e.g. `.well-known`) are unconditionally excluded from the tar archive. There is no way to include them. (actions#129) # The Solution Add an `include-hidden-files` input (default `false`) that skips the `--exclude=.[^/]*` pattern when set to `true`. `.git` and `.github` are always excluded regardless. Test coverage added for the new option. I think this is the right approach rather than actions#134. Keep the default behavior safe, and give a sane option to users who know what they're doing. It was safe enough for upload-artifact, it should be safe enough here. # Context `actions/upload-artifact` introduced hidden file exclusion and a corresponding `include-hidden-files` option in [v4.4.0](https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact/releases/tag/v4.4.0). This action adopted the same exclusion behavior in its tar step but never added the equivalent option. This PR closes that gap. The only sane workaround without this option is to drop this action, manually create the tar, and hand it to `upload-artifact` directly. See [expressjs/expressjs.com#2173](expressjs/expressjs.com#2173) for an example.
