I’m building this blog with Gatsby, a tool for
generating static sites relatively easily using a mix of React and markdown.
I’ve spent the day pulling down starter kits and playing with them. Now that (I
think) I have a relatively useful setup, it’s time to check in my work. If
you’re swapping starter kits in an out, you may find that you need to swap
./gits around, or you don’t want to copy them at all. Here’s a tip to help
out.
rsync -av source/ dest/ --exclude somepath
rsync is a Swiss Army knife of file
management awesomeness.
