Why not support an existing ignore file such as .npmignore?

For now you can try to use the "hook" feature that CLI newly brings in ask-cli@v1.5 to realize your goal. If you look at the python pre-deploy script example https://developer.amazon.com/docs/smapi/ask-cli-intro.html#hooks, you will find that we modify the sourceDir to a lambda_upload folder for python skills. And you can totally do this using some task manager tools like gulp (if you are nodejs developer) to decide what you want to deploy. This pre-deploy hook will be triggered before each deploy.

One way to do this right now is to make a build script that will process and copy the files you want to upload into a build folder. In .ask/config, you can set the sourceDir to your build folder and ask-cli will only upload the folder contents.

Or through an .askdeployignore file
