Collects the media files from all installed apps and copies them to the STATICFILES_STORAGE.
You can limit the apps parsed by providing a list of app names:
$ python manage.py build_static --exclude-dirs admin polls
Duplicate file names are resolved in a similar way to how template resolution works. Files are initially searched for in STATICFILES_DIRS locations, followed by apps in the order specified by the INSTALLED_APPS setting.
Some commonly used options are:
Do NOT prompt the user for input of any kind.
Ignore files or directories matching this glob-style pattern. Use multiple times to ignore more.
Do everything except modify the filesystem.
Create a symbolic link to each file instead of copying.
Exclude additional static locations specified in the STATICFILES_DIRS setting.
For a full list of options, refer to the build_static management command help by running:
$ python manage.py build_static --help
Resolves one or more expected relative URL path to absolute paths of each media file on the filesystem. For example:
$ python manage.py resolve_static css/base.css admin/js/core.css
/home/special.polls.com/core/media/css/base.css
/home/polls.com/core/media/css/base.css
/home/polls.com/src/django/contrib/admin/media/js/core.js
By default, all matching locations are found. To only return the first match for each relative path, use the --first option:
$ python manage.py resolve_static css/base.css --first
/home/special.polls.com/core/media/css/base.css
