To exclude source files during autoscan and sonar scan

Hello,
I am trying to run an analysis on a project that contains code in PHP, JS, CSS, HTML. The code is present in my local machine.
The command I use to run the scan is $sonar-scanner.bat -D"sonar.projectKey=Web" -D"sonar.organization=name" -D"sonar.sources=." -D"sonar.host.url=https://sonarcloud.io" -D"sonar.login=eb8…"
This always fails analysis as the number of lines is more than the limit for the organisation. I need to exclude some of the files so that the analysis can be done.

Questions:
How do I run the scan by excluding a list of the source files?
How do I exclude these while running an autoscan of a branch in a github reporsitory?

Hi,

You can know more about exclusions in this documentation : here and here for autoscan.

Let us know if you need more details then.

Thanks for the reference. When we exclude a folder by adding this to the scan command: “-Dsonar.exclusions=Pods/*”, the files in the folder are still scanned.
Do we need to change the command to get this working?
