You could probably just pants ignore the file I forget that global option

` GLOBAL pants ignore = path glob `

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

I think you want all Pants operations to skip it IIUC

Why is it checked in

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

You must have a config like this <https www pantsbuild org docs reference regex lint config|https www pantsbuild org docs reference regex lint config>

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

You need to edit that config file

< happy kitchen 89482> < polite garden 50641> already started a thread about security concerns curling a script in CI and in general and he prefers checking it in
