I’m trying to synchronise my home folder with a usb disk.
I would like to ignore the hidden files and directory in my home folder but only in this directory, I still need to synchronise the hidden files in the sub-directories contained in my home folder.
I tried to use this option : --exclude="/home/valentin/.*" --exclude "/home/valentin/.*/" but rsync synchronises everything, even /home/valentin/.cache/ for example
What option do I need to use ?

Use below command.
rsync -avz --exclude '/.*' /home/valentin/ /destination_folder

The path rsync uses for --exclude is relative to the /source
rsync -avz --exclude '.*' ~ /destination
should do the trick.
