By default there are some rules HubSpot automatically enforces. There is no way to override these defaults.

The following are always ignored:

hubspot.config.yml/hubspot.config.yaml
node_modules - dependencies
.* - hidden files/folders
*.log - NPM error log
*.swp - Swap file for Vim state
Icon\\r - Mac OS custom Finder icon
__MACOSX - Mac resource fork
~ Linux Backup file
Thumbs.db - Windows image file cache
ehthumbs.db - Windows folder config file
Desktop.ini - Windows custom folder attribute information
@eaDir - Windows Synology diskstation "hidden" folder where the server stores thumbnails.

Shell script

# ignore all files within a specific directory
/ignore/ignored
# ignore a specific file
/ignore/ignore.md
# ignore all .txt files
*.txt
# ignore all log files - useful if you commonly output serverless function logs as files.
*.log

The --mode option allows you to determine if local changes are published when uploaded to HubSpot. This option can be used in each command or set as a default in your hubspot.config.yml file.

The two options for --mode are --mode=draft and --mode=publish.

The following is the order of precedence for setting --mode:

Using --mode in a command will override all other settings.
Setting a defaultMode for each account in your hubspot.config.yml file, removes the need to use --mode in each command. It will override the top-level setting.
Setting a defaultMode at the top-level in your hubspot.config.yml file, sets a default--mode for all accounts. It will override the default behavior.
The default behavior for --mode is publish

If you ran hs init while using version v1.0.10 (released March 10, 2020) through v1.0.11 of the CLI your config file is placed at /Users/<username>/hubspot.config.yml.

We have changed back to placing your config file in the folder you ran the command from, to make it obvious where the file is. You do not have to move your config file it will still work fine. If you prefer to keep your file with your project files, it is safe to move your file from this directory to your project folder. Do not commit this file into version control, it contains your auth credentials.

If you ran the command using any other version of the CMS-CLI your config file is placed in the folder you ran the command from.
