Remove compiled files from git checkout. about pyladies

I'm not sure what you mean by remove compiled files.

First, you mention wsgi.py, which is actually made me notice that wsgi is not at all used, and should/will be removed from the directory. So, I will do that. It's an artifact of our former Mezzanine site.

Second - there are two types of directories. One's that have the underscore preceding their name, and ones that do not.

Mynt ignores, with the exception of _posts, _assets, and _templates, all those files when you run $ mynt -f gen _site. Mynt takes all the normal, non-understored files and compiles them to _site/. So, we do need the compiled files - they are the site. The -f flag tells mynt that there is already a _site file and to rewrite everything in that file. For instance, if someone redoes the CSS, it will rewrite everything. If someone just does one post, it will just change that post (and the feed.xml).

When we deploy, I run $ mynt gen -f _site && rsync -rupaz _site/ <username>@pyladies.com:www - no wsgi, just static.

Does that answer your question/confusion a bit?

Not really.

The issue is that people are editing _site/ and it took me longer than it should to understand the difference. What I'm asking is for you to remove _site/ from the repo (and add it to gitignore). Your deploy should be exactly the same. You create a _site/ directory and push it out to the server. If someone wants a _site/ directory locally, they can just run the compilation process.

Does that make sense?

As the pull request above mentions, this is the implementation of my suggestion. Your deploy procedure should be identical and nothing should change, but now there's less confusion because there aren't duplicates of the javascript.

+1 thanks for your help :) I'll add a sample local deploy script as well.
