I have a git repo which compiles into a dist folder and generates a bunch binaries (executables).
The binaries and dist folders are .gitignore-ed and hence, are not included in the repo.
But I want to distribute a source + binaries snapshot zipfile.
I want them to contain:
a) all the sources
b) all the binaries
c) the dist folder (so that they can tweak it)
d) not the .git/ directory, not the hidden files like .cache or node_modules/ etc.
