github-pages - #hexo#What is the .deploy_git directory in the static blog framework and what role does it play?

Question

I am new to hexo and use hexo github-pages to create a blog. What is the .deploy_git directory under the directory and what is its function? Can it be deleted?

Also, expand the question:

The directory structure after hexo initialization is only as follows:

After installing the theme, there are many more directories. I am confused about the reason for these directories

My idea is: .gitignore, db.json and .deploy_git are generated from the github-pages repository (but I don’t know the specific functions of db.json and .deploy_git)

The two directories node_modules and public should be generated due to the installation of the theme

In conclusion, the reasons for the creation of each directory in the red box and the roles it plays, please ask the gods to explain it

Answer 1

• .deploy_git: This should be a file for git deployment. For example, if you want to deploy the blog you have written to GitHub Pages, you can use git to deploy the plug-in, and the plug-in will create this directory

• node_modules: This should be the plug-in/module directory used by node.js and installed in the current "project/directory". After all, hexo is installed through npm, right?

• public: This should be the directory of the website compiled by hero

• .gitignore: This is a git configuration file, which defines content settings that are not included in git management

• db.json: I don’t know this either.
