The <code>:(exclude)</code> pathspec modifier is a special syntax that allows you to exclude files or folders. A pathspec is a way to specify files in Git. It is a string that describes a set of files. You can use wildcards to match multiple files. For example, <code>*.html</code> matches all html files. <code>**/*.html</code> matches all html files in all subfolders.</p>
