im new using git actions. So im using actions from git to automate deployment from my repository to my sftp server, everything works fine, but when the action is on execution takes to much time, around 20 minutes, on my repo exist files like system, application, and dist so, that kind of files i don't want to re-upload. Doing a little research I found out that they can be ignored certains paths.

I found out that they can be ignored with "paths-ignore" but for some reason it's not working, this is my file.

I want to ignore all the content inside application/cache, application/config, application/core .. etc.Or all the folder "application/cache", "application/config".. etc

What am I doing wrong? It's possible to do that?

First I have a suggestion:

Don't put all these files inside your repository, git is for versioning code and not for storage.

paths-ignore is a config for on: event, which means when that on you have changes in your repository, except changes in paths-ignore, start the workflow.

There is no way to reduce too much time in your workflow because every job creates a new machine that gets all your git repository and starts some workflow. But you can read more about the SFTP-Deploy-Action and use the parameter local-path to upload just what you want, maybe your workflow drop to 10 minutes.
