aider: Updated _config.yml to exclude all directories and files except specific ones using wildcards.

# Aider chat conversation:

USER: can i "include" rather than "exclude"

ASSISTANT: Jekyll does not have a built-in `include` option, but you can achieve the same effect by using the `exclude` option to exclude everything except the directories and files you want to include.

To do this, you can list all the directories and files you want to exclude in the `_config.yml` file. Here is how you can update your `_config.yml` to exclude all directories and files except `docs`, `_posts`, `_layouts`, `_data`, and `_config.yml`:

_config.yml

  - scope:

      type: "pages"
    values:

  - tmp.benchmarks
  - scripts

USER: can exclude use wildcards?

ASSISTANT: Yes, Jekyll's `exclude` option can use wildcards to specify patterns for files and directories to exclude. This can simplify the configuration significantly.

Here is how you can update your `_config.yml` to exclude all directories and files except `docs`, `_posts`, `_layouts`, `_data`, and `_config.yml` using wildcards:

_config.yml
```yaml
<<<<<<< SEARCH
theme: jekyll-theme-cayman
url: "https://aider.chat"

plugins:
  - jekyll-redirect-from
  - jekyll-sitemap

defaults:
  - scope:
      path: "README.md"
      type: "pages"
    values:
      description: "A command-line chat tool for coding with GPT"

exclude:
  - tmp.benchmarks
  - scripts
  - Gemfile
  - Gemfile.lock
  - README.md
  - other_directories_or_files_to_exclude

exclude:
  - "*"
  - "!docs"
  - "!_posts"
  - "!_layouts"
  - "!_data"
  - "!_config.yml"
>>>>>>> REPLACE
```

This configuration will exclude all files and directories by default (`"*"`), but include the specified directories and files (`"!docs"`, `"!_posts"`, `"!_layouts"`, `"!_data"`, `"!_config.yml"`).
