Turn on upload-on-save
Set "upload_on_save": true in remote-sync-config.json. Every save now uploads that file to the remote target.
Exclude the right things
MokoDeploy supports two complementary exclusion lists:
ignore— glob patterns, e.g.["node_modules/**", "dist/**", "*.log"].ignore_regexes— regular expressions for anything globs can't express cleanly, e.g. secret-shaped names:["\\.env.*", ".*\\.pem$"].
A file matching either list is never uploaded, even by upload-on-save.
Verify
Run MokoDeploy: Diagnose — it prints how many ignore globs and regexes are active, so you can confirm your exclusions loaded before trusting auto-upload. Part of the Moko VS Code suite.
