Provide filter for files excluded from site
hartmans opened this issue · comments
I'm an Emacs user, and I'd like to exclude my editor backup files from the generated site.
With the code today, I end up with things like index.md~ ending up copied as assets into the generated site.
Obviously I can git clean before publishing or go set up some sort of CI pipeline, but for some of my sites that's more infrastructure than I need.
So I'd like a setting that allows me to exclude files matching a particular predicate from consideration
You should now be able to add ignore: ['*~'] to .staticfile to get rid of those files
It looks like .staticfile was renamed to .staticsite at some point.
There are comments referring to .staticfile in fstree.py and
features/jinja2.py, but the code (and content.md in the reference
documentation) appears to use .staticsite.
It is my intent to submit a PR fixing the references to .staticfile
although that's a few items down on my stack.
