Trim release tarball via .gitattributes export-ignore#28
Merged
Conversation
git archive (called from release.yml on every tag) was shipping the full repo snapshot — including .github/, .gitignore, .pre-commit-config.yaml, .yamllint.yml, scripts/, renovate.json, AUDIT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md. None of those are useful to a downstream deployer of the compose templates. .gitattributes with export-ignore directives lets the working repo keep everything (contributors clone the full set) while git archive emits a lean deployer-focused tarball: - Per-stack folders with their environment-variable example files - README.md, LICENSE, SECURITY.md, VERIFICATION.md, CHANGELOG.md Verified locally with --worktree-attributes: tarball drops from 111 files to 90, top-level entries from 28 to 22. Signed-release verification (cosign + SLSA) unaffected; the workflow itself remains in the repo, just not in the per-release tarball.

git archive in release.yml was shipping the full repo snapshot. Adds a .gitattributes with export-ignore directives so source tarballs / zips contain only the deliverable (per-stack folders + their env example files + README/LICENSE/SECURITY/VERIFICATION/CHANGELOG). git clone unaffected.
Verified locally with --worktree-attributes: 111 -> 90 files, 28 -> 22 top-level entries. Excluded: .github/, .gitignore, .pre-commit-config.yaml, .yamllint.yml, scripts/, renovate.json, AUDIT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md. Signed-release verification (cosign + SLSA) is unaffected.
