A request for the ability to not push/pull uploads [is asked here](https://community.kinsta.com/t/kinsta-gitlab-ci-how-to-avoid-updating-some-files/1047), and I believe this would also be a beneficial addition.

A syncing function within DevKinsta that worked more like rsync would be excellent, with the ability to ignore specific files/directories and only sync those with changes.
