Why does a file added to .gitignore cause the deployment to fail?

I've been using Kamal since a while, and it's a great piece of software! Thanks for making it.

However, a question:

• A few seconds ago, my deployments were going fine!
• Whatever the reason is, I've added some files to my .gitignore and these files are mandatory to make my app run (I just don't want them in version control)
• When redeploying, it now fails with this error message: Cannot find module '../assets/config' from ..., the file I've just added to .gitignore...

Why?
Does Kamal use code on Github (where config isn't)?
Any way to fix this?
Thanks.

@charnould Kamal by default uses a local git clone, to use the current state of your files you'll need to set context: ".".
