Which issue does this PR close?
Closes #9843
Rationale for this change
We do not run the RAT check against the files under the hidden directory
.github
in CI, and some of these files are currently missing licenses (#9851).However, when we create the release tarball, we include these files in the tarball and then run the RAT check against them, and this currently fails.
What changes are included in this PR?
This PR updates
.gitattributes
so that we no longer include the.github
files in the release tarball. There really is no need to include these files in a release.Are these changes tested?
I manually tested with the following command before and after making the change to
.gitattributes
and confirmed that the modification was effective in excluding the.github
files from the tarball:Are there any user-facing changes?
