How to sync workdir to a server without including the .git folder?

Lucas Young wants to exclude the .git folder when syncing the workdir to a server. Adding .git to .gitignore causes problems, so Zongheng Yang suggests adding .git to .git/info/exclude. Lucas Young later confirms that excluding .git doesn't cause any issues with git.

To sync the workdir to a server without including the .git folder, you can add .git to .git/info/exclude.
Excluding the .git folder in this way is respected by git and does not cause any issues.

Example:

echo '.git' >> .git/info/exclude
