Packaging Rules

Pressship creates a zip with one top-level plugin folder, matching the format expected by WordPress plugin upload.

It excludes common development artifacts by default:

• .git
• .gitignore
• .github
• .DS_Store
• .idea
• .vscode
• .env
• .env.*
• .pressship-svn
• node_modules
• dist
• build
• coverage
• tests
• *.log
• *.zip
• .pressshipignore
• legacy .pressportignore

Add a .pressshipignore file in your plugin directory for project-specific exclusions:

assets/**/*.mp4
docs/raw/**
playground/**

You can also ignore files per command:

npx pressship pack ./my-plugin --ignore "assets/**/*.mp4"
npx pressship submit ./my-plugin --ignore "assets/**/*.mp4"
npx pressship publish ./my-plugin --ignore "assets/**/*.mp4"
npx pressship release ./my-plugin --ignore "assets/**/*.mp4"
