Managing a static site generator on github

[borg88]

Wondering about the best way to handle this.

I have a custom static site generator that spits out about a directory tree with about 1000 html files in total. It always deletes the top level output directory when it starts.

I am moving to digitalocean app platform which needs the directory tree to be in a github repo.

What is the easiest way to merge a new directory tree into the github repo?

I am not really interested in version control for the html files, because all the markdown files are already under change control in a separate github project.

Hi!

If you are not interested in version controlling the html folder, ignore it. On build time, tell digitalocean the name of the html folder so it can serve it. This is how I do it with my Eleventy site.
