Publishing "dot" folders

Operating System	OSX
jekyll	4.0.0

Expected Behavior

The documentation says:

https://jekyllrb.com/docs/structure/

Every other directory and file except for those listed above—such as css and images folders, favicon.ico files, and so forth—will be copied verbatim to the generated site. There are plenty of sites already using Jekyll if you’re curious to see how they’re laid out.

Specifically for my Apple requires you to host a verification file at the path /.well-known/apple-developer-domain-association.txt to verify your domain with "Login with Apple"

If I create a directory to that path with the file, jekyll serve does not host the file at the same path.

I see the folder and contents being copied to the _site directory. So maybe the problem is with jekyll serve?

Code Sample

To reproduce:

1. Create a new Jekyll project
2. Create a file at path /.well-known/apple-developer-domain-association.txt
3. Run jekyll serve
4. Visit http://127.0.0.1:4000/.well-known/apple-developer-domain-association.txt and get a 404

@KevinColemanInc default port is 4000, so you should visit http://127.0.0.1:4000/.well-known/apple-developer-domain-association.txt

[KevinColemanInc]

@DirtyF You can use whatever port you want to use, but you're still not going to retrieve that file if the folder is prefixed with a "dot".

[DirtyF]

@KevinColemanInc You have to specifically add .well-known folder to include in _config.yml:

include:
 - .well-known

Awesome Thanks!
