Phar excludes directories when creating a tarball

Question

I want to create a tar archive in a PHP script using the built-in class PharData.

I want the tar archive to represent the directory, so I thought about using PharData::buildFromDirectory()for this. Unfortunately, the directory is also a git repository and has a folder in it .git, which is much larger than the directory itself.

Therefore, I need to delete this directory .git(ideally also the directory .idea...) from the archive, because it will inflate it unnecessarily.

What I have tried so far:

• Using regex to filter a directory:

  $archive->buildFromDirectory("..", "@^(?!.git).+@");
  

  What didn't work.

• Usage PharData::delete(), but, unfortunately, this is only like deleting a file, not a directory.

So what is the best way to do what I want?
