When using Webstorm, you have the option to mark project subdirectories as "excluded". However, the full implications of this designation remain unclear in the Webstorm documentation. Does marking a directory as excluded impact debugging or deployment processes?
I would appreciate any insights you can provide on this matter.
EDIT:
The documentation mentions that "Excluded folders are not involved in indexing and therefore they are ignored while searching, parsing, watching etc."
Why is 'watching' mentioned when my gulp script handles that task?
Additionally, what other consequences might fall under the umbrella of 'etc'?
