Hey #Eleventy tinkerers!

I have a git submodule that I am adding inside the repository of my website, but I want it to be ignored, except for its README.md.

I have tried two different approaches. In both cases I am able to exclude the git submodule, but I can’t find a way to include the README and use it as a regular template.

Option 1: using .eleventyignore

inputdir/submodule<br></br>!inputdir/submodule/README.md<br></br>

Option 2: using .eleventy.js

module.exports = function (eleventyConfig) {<br></br>  eleventyConfig.ignores.add('inputdir/submodule');<br></br>  eleventyConfig.ignores.add('inputdir/submodule/README.md'); // added it first to be sure<br></br>  eleventyConfig.ignores.delete('inputdir/submodule/README.md');<br></br>};<br></br>

Do you have any suggestions to fix this? The ignore section in Eleventy’s documentation is not helping much…

Thanks a lot!
