[Feature Idea] .pages file to set specific things (i.e. ignore files) #232

I like Codeber pages a lot.
Tho I think there could be some extra features to further improve how it works, which I like to propose here.

These features would all exist in a .pages file that is put in the root directory of the pages branch.

source-directory

This option would set the directory - relative to root - from where it would serve the page content.

Example:

source-directory:docs

This would serve content from the docs directory.
Not sure, but this may be equal to _redirects' /* /docs/:splat 200 feature?

ignore-files

This option lets Codeberg pages ignore certain files and folders.
Glob patterns could be used.

Example:

ignore-files:- 'README.md'- '**/README.md'

Ignores the README.md file in the root directory and any README.md files in any sub-folder.

redirects

Would effectively replace the _redirects file in functionality.

Example:

redirects:- '/foo /bar'- '/articles/* /posts/:splat 302'

default-pages

Defines files to serve on specifit HTTP Status responses.

Example:

default-pages:- '404 /errors/404.html'

Serves the 404.html file from the errors folder whenever a 404 is returned.

Maybe also make Codeberg pages look for specific pages like 404.html or 404.md to serve by default?

---

I hope that these features can be considered and eventually implemented.
