I have files: ```auto 358M ./node_modules 16K ./ansible 12K ./public 8.1M ./build 5.3M ./.git 4.0K ./.circleci 44K ./.idea 9.4M ./src 382M . ``` This step takes ages (~5 minutes!) on my super fancy mac (I know this is a problem occurs, because how virtualization is done on mac). ```auto ====>> Checkout code #!/bin/bash -eo pipefail mkdir -p /home/circleci/repo && cp -r /tmp/_circleci_local_build_repo/. /home/circleci/repo ``` I’m requesting for the same feature as here: [https://discuss.circleci.com/t/running-circleci-locally-should-allow-to-ignore-some-files/17447](https://discuss.circleci.com/t/running-circleci-locally-should-allow-to-ignore-some-files/17447) Without this feature, there is no point of setup: mac + circleci cli + node ---
