What demo files do I commit

[dan-searle]

Yeah, fair enough.

Perhaps the demos folder should look like this:

• demos/
  • src/ (demo source templates, config etc as now)
  • registry/ (demo files built for the registry - HTML only)
  • local/ (demo files built for local development - HTML, JS, CSS)

origami-build-tools demo would be changed to generate both registry and local versions of the demos rather than only building one or the other.

Then it should be much clearer which files are used where, and it wouldn't really matter if the local files get committed, in fact it would save a developer an extra step in building them.

local versions of demos will contain large bundles of other components, and I don't really like those being committed. A change in file structure might be helpful though because it would enable a demos/local directory to be listed in .gitignore. Currently, targeting the same dir for build service and local demos does make it awkward to find the correct files to commit.

So, I suggest that normal demos continue to be saved in demos, and local versions are saved in a subfolder called local, which is also added to gitignore.

No real opinion on whether the tool should update configs automatically, but if it does, it would be good to make that clear in the CLI output so there's no magic. @kavanagh are you happy with this?

Yep
