Netlify now autodetects create-react-app projects and sets the right build command and folder settings automatically.

I don’t think we want to expose a webpack-ism like this to the user.
We should have a way to add arbitrary files to the build, I think.

Yea.. I mean to take a look at this soon. The only problem I see so far is that it won’t allow adding anything to the root folder which seems like a common use case.

Well we could easily copy everything EXCEPT the files that are there by default and the src/ folder?

I’m not sure if we should do that although it might be reasonable.

Maybe the “root files” use case is just not important, and we can tell people to add their own cp post-build command.

Having to add a custom post build command just to include a robots.txt or a .htaccess or a _redirects or any similar file that needs to go in the root seems a bit complicated.
I think having anything in the static folder copied into the build root is the best option. Hugo (the static site generator) works like that and I don't see that creating confusion...

The only reason I see that confusing is because if you want to put something into js for whatever reason, you have to create /static/static/js/ which is funny.

I would argue for not having the static folder end up in build/static but copying anything in static to build in regards to #226 - so you would have static/robots.txt or static/js/modernizr.js or the like.

Looks like it'll take a bit to figure out the best way to add static files to the root folder, so I dropped the specific instructions and left it up to the end user to get the _redirects file into the build folder.
