How to keep files visible in Xcode but excluded from specific targets

[andywpt]

Description

In the GUI interface, we can exclude a file from a target by unchecking the checkbox in the target membership section, the excluded file is still visible in Xcode.

However, when using the excludes keyword in XcodeGen, the excluded file is not visible in Xcode.
Currently, I'm able to workaround that using the following configuration:

sources:
      - path: HH
        excludes:
          - "**/*.{sh,yml}"
      - path: HH
        buildPhase: none

Is there a proper way of doing it? Any advise would be helpful :)

On Project Level, you can use FileGroups, see https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen/blob/master/Docs/ProjectSpec.md#project:

Example from one of our apps:

fileGroups:
  - Changelog.md
  - Mintfile
  - project.yml
