Ignore folders in appspec.yml

Greetings, I have a synchronization problem with AWS and GIT, I have a repository of photos in a wordpress but these photos are not in the repository (They are almost 4 GB) the issue is every time I make a commit I delete the folder with the photos.

I want to synchronize the entire directory of the wordpress except the folder wp-content / uploads ignore it in some way and not delete it.

Here is the content of the appspec.yml file, which rule exists so that this synchronization omits folders of the type "uploads / *" I have read in the Amazon document but it is confusing.
