 * Hi, 
   Is it possible to exclude all js files in a folder from js minification,
   e.g., “/wp-includes/js/dist/”?

 * Hello [@proller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/proller/)
 * Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to help!
   You cannot exclude the entire
   folder from the minification. You can only exclude specific files from the mentioned
   folder if that specific file is loading on the website. e.g., “/wp-includes/js/
   dist/block-editor.js”
 * I hope this helps!
 * Thanks!
