When Continua finishes a build it only copies the tranformed web.config from my Git repository into the Output folder. Is there a way to retain all of the transform files as I need these for Octopus Deploy please?

Hi Darren,  
  
You can use the stage Workspace Rules to copy the files from your source folder on the agent to the output folder on the server. e.g.  
  
/Output \< $Source.YourRepoName$/\*\*.config  
  
Alternatively, you can also use a Copy action. e.g.  
  
Source Directory: $Source.YourRepoName$  
File Names / Patterns: \*\*.config  
Destination Directory: $Workspace$\Output

I couldn’t get it working with workspace rules but the following file copy works:   
 Source Directory: $Source.Repo$\Folder\Subfolder   
 File Names / Patterns: Web.\*.config   
 Destination Directory: $Workspace$\Output\_PublishedWebsites\Folder
