How to prevent public/ directory being imported?

[Abdillah]

Currently, I run vitepress in the root of repository where public folder exists. I don't want to include this directory.
I choose the root because I want to includes README.md as well as some document in the source code.

Something like this should work:

// .vitepress/config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vitepress'

export default defineConfig({
  vite: {
    publicDir: false
  }
})

Wow, thanks!
My public folder has tons of files and now the built clean.
