Yarn tasks don't respect "keep_files" config setting. #70

Closed kimisgold closed 4 years ago

kimisgold commented 5 years ago

Running jekyll by itself will preserve files and directories in my _sites folder that I've identified in my _config.yml using keep_files. Running any of the yarn tasks will clean out my _sites directory and ignore keep_files.

What happens if you create a folder (_myfiles) in the root directory of your project and add your folder in the config include section?

@core77 It works, but doesn't quite fit my use case. I have a separate php project that needs to live within my jekyll directory, and I'd prefer jekyll not to touch it all. As I understand it, Jekyll's "keep_files" configuration is built for use cases like this, so all I want is for that setting to take effect.

core77 commented 5 years ago

This project was built with the intention to fully replace the _site folder when 'yarn start' or 'yarn run build' scripts are running. That's why there's the clean gulp task which wipes the _site folder.

Jekyll is only needed here to generate the HTML.

Perhaps you want to make your own fork to achieve what you want to do?
