Copy Static

We've written a lot of unit tests, it's time to start pulling all the pieces together into a working static site generator. Let's work on that main.py file that we've been neglecting.

Assignment

Add the following files to a static directory in the root of your project (the contents of the files are at the bottom of this page):
- static/images/tolkien.png
- static/index.css
Write a recursive function that copies all the contents from a source directory to a destination directory (in our case, static to public)
- It should first delete all the contents of the destination directory (public) to ensure that the copy is clean.
- It should copy all files and subdirectories, nested files, etc.
- I recommend logging the path of each file you copy, so you can see what's happening as you run and debug your code.

Here are some of the standard library docs that might be helpful:

Hook the function up to your main function and test it out. I didn't use a unit test for this one because it interacts with the file system: I just tested it manually.
Add the public/ directory to your .gitignore file. This is where the generated site will live. As a general rule, it's bad to commit generated stuff, especially if it can be regenerated easily.
Ensure that running main.sh generates the public directory and all the copied content correctly.

Run and submit the CLI tests from the root of the project.

The Static Content

Use the following two files to test your copying function:

static/images/tolkien.png:

static/index.css:

}

::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
  background-color: #3c3c42;
  border-radius: 6px;
  border: 3px solid #1f1c25;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover {
  background-color: #5a5466;
}

* {
  scrollbar-width: thin;
  scrollbar-color: #3c3c42 #1f1c25;
}

::-webkit-scrollbar-corner {
  background: #1f1c25;
}

Yes, I know there is a shutil.copytree function that would eliminate the need for recursion entirely, but like, do you want to just download Hugo and skip this project? No! We go to the moon, not because it is easy, but because it is hard!
