I am trying to automate the process of syncing my web assets with google cloud storageGoogle Cloud Storage. I basically need to copy everything in my development directory up to the cloud. However, I need to ignore the .git.git directory and some other irrelevant files.

I can't just do a 'gsutil cp -R . 'gsutil cp -R . <dest> because that takes absolutely everything, including .git.git. I tried 'find .|fgrep git|gsutil cp -I 'find . | fgrep git | gsutil cp -I <dest> but that flattens all directories and puts them in root!

Is there a way I can solve this with gsutilgsutil or do I have to do a loop in script which uploads all directories (except .git.git) with -R-R and then uploads individual files in current directory?
