For exclude option we can use multiline strings if we want to pass multiple values.
In this case it's an important detail that we used '|' or '|-' in the YAML.
There is no default value for exclude option.

exclude: |                 
  dir1/**                   
  dir2/**/*                 
  dir3/file.txt
