If you don't want to use an hardcoded `.gitignore` file, you can use the `allow_patterns` and `ignore_patterns` arguments to filter which files to upload. These parameters accept either a single pattern or a list of patterns. Patterns are Standard Wildcards (globbing patterns) as documented [here](https://tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/x11655.htm). If both `allow_patterns` and `ignore_patterns` are provided, both constraints apply.
