On many occasions, it's important to sometimes ignore certain files:

• sqlite-db
• settings.py
• local settings in general

To achieve this, you can just add many excluded after one another:

rsync -v -r --delete $(LOCAL_PATH) $(REMOTE_SERVER):$(REMOTE_PATH) --exclude $(EXCLUDED_FILE1) --exclude $(EXCLUDED_FILE2) --exclude $(EXCLUDED_FILE3)
