Hello,
I've been using FreeFileSync for a while and it helps me a lot.
It would be great to be able to exclude repositories including a .git repository or any other pattern.

Is that would be possible as a new feature ?

Thank your

It is not clear to me from the documentation how to exclude the parent folder and all its contents if that parent folder contains a .git folder ("?*/.git" does only exclude the git directory). Could someone provide an example?

It is only possible to Exclude files and/or folders (and their child-folders) based on their (own) name.
It is not possible to (automatically) Exclude a parent folder based on the name of any of the files or folders it contains matching a name or pattern.
