Is there a way to make Starbound's workshop uploader exclude folders when uploading a mod?

I keep backups of some of my mods on GitHub, but a consequence of that is .git folders that can get absurdly large and bloat their size. The current workaround I use involves copying the contents of a mod (excluding .git) into a separate folder and then using that folder in the uploader. This is not only a little inconvenient but also leaves room for errors like using an outdated _metadata file in the source code version of my mod (or possibly even copying .git by accident). I would like to ask if there is a way I can automatically exclude the .git folder when using Starbound's workshop uploader (and also the built-in asset packer) to make my mod updating process a bit less inconvenient.

Idk if this helps since this method doesn't really exclude the folder, but at least the large .git folder won't be uploaded to the workshop
