I would like a easy/simple way to serve a static file in a Phoenix App
e.g: when you need to verify a domain the registrar requires a .txt file.
This can sometimes be done at the DNS level. But other times it needs to be served by the Application.
My particular use case is the following: I want to serve a copy of the mix.lock file from the project
so that I can easily see exactly which version of a dependency is running.
In the past we have served an endpoint that displayed the Git version of the App
that we could then lookup on GitHub to determine exactly which version of the App was running for debugging purposes.

router.ex#L104-L106andcontrollers/github_version_controller.exProblem is: I don't think the
Githistory is available onFly.io(it wasn't onHeroku...) So I think the easiest thing is to serve astaticfile. 📁Very grateful for any insight other people using
