I am trying to set AWS Code deploy with Github to automate my deloyment. the problem i am having is the ec2 instance is already active and has the web app code. the problem is there is also other content on the instance that I don't want under source control. Code deploy is failing with the following error:
The deployment failed because a specified file already exists at this location
this is because the source code is on the instance and was not added as a revision.
So my question is there any way to make the code deploy recognise the current files on the instance as an inital revision?
