Hey I'm wondering if it's possible to tell yadm to exclude files from a path that will be encrypted? Say for instance, I want to encrypt the entire libreoffice user data directory but want to exclude specific files and folders (like how I would with the gitignore file). Is this sort of thing possible with the encryption command? Thanks

Assuming that you are using a $HOME/.config/yadm/encrypt file (not transcrypt or git-crypt):

It should work to add excluded paths to the $HOME/.config/yadm/encrypt file itself. Preface those paths with a !. For example:

path/to/libreoffice/**
!path/to/libreoffice/path/dir_to_exclude
!path/to/libreoffice/path/file_to_exclude

If this isn't working for you, post a more specific example, and I might be able to work out the issue.
