I'm trying to compile an addon, but I made a minimal modification, but every time I try to compile, kodi takes the .git files from the addon, ignoring my modifications.

I already tried to put the addon in the folders:

kodi \ addons
kodi \ cmake \ addons \ addons
kodi \ cmake \ addons \ build

but I could not compile without the kodi having to connect to the addon .git server.

How can I compile a local addon without sending it to a git, and without kodi having to connect to git to get the files?

Kodi v18 Alpha1, compiling on Windows x64.

Can you be a bit more specific please?
Let's start with what addon are you talking about?

have a look at the appveyor configuration for my addons; https://github.com/notspiff
