rsync - Dec 2019 - Excluding a . directory in a subdirectory

I am having problems getting a . directory in a subdirectory to be excluded when
rsyncing. I am using rsync 3.1.2 on CentOS 7 and the command line is:

#??? all files from ~/bin/ and I use want to exclude the directory
~/bin/docker/.git
rsync -vHrltDium -c --chmod=Du+rwx,go-rwx,Fu+rw,go-rw --no-perms --stats
--include='*' --include='*/' --exclude=".git/" -e
"ssh -y -p 22" /home/user/bin/ user at 1.2.3.4:~/bin

What am I doing wrong? I thought the exclusion pattern above would exclude any
.git subdirectory regardless of level found?

Thank you.

Order matters.  --include overrides --exclude listed later.  So, your
exclude is nullified by both of  your includes.  So move the exclude
before the includes.  Of course then your includes will be irrelevant so
just remove them unless you are leaving out details.

Thank you very much, worked perfectly! Clearly I need to read up on includes and
excludes...
