# Ignoring files
The template author may choose to ignore files completely, by including an `ignore` list in the `cargo-generate.toml` file.
Example:
```toml
[template]
ignore = [
"file",
"or folder",
"to be ignored"
]
```
Both files and folders may be ignored using this method, but currently wildcards are **not supported**.
Note that `cargo-generate` checks for which files to ignore after the removal of any `.liquid` file extensions.
Meaning; Setting `ignore` to `["file.txt"]` will result in the ignoring of a file named `file.txt.liquid`.
