Is there any way to make launcher ignore certain directories like .git when uploading a mod?

[Eliv_]

If not, will developers add this feature? Or is there any api that allows me to upload mod to steam workshop so that I can make a program that could do this work?

Every time I have to drag .git out of my mod directory when I upload my mod. It's quite annoying.

I don't believe so, but I'll move you to the forum where the launcher developers hang out.

I don't have a proper answer, but there's a workaround, you can nest your mod one folder deeper. So your mod_name lives in Documents/Paradox Interactive/Game Name/mod/mod_name/mod_name.

Make sure your descriptor says path="mod/mod_name/mod_name"

Then you can have .git, .gitignore, etc. in the top level folder. I also put mod asset stuff in there, like for example a text file with the workshop description, thumbnail as a file with layers. All of that will be version controlled (good) but not uploaded to the steam workshop (also good). The end user just gets the nested folder.

Here's an example
