<div class="section" id="build-static">
<span id="id1"></span><h2>build_static<a class="headerlink" href="#build-static" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Collects the media files from all installed apps and copies them to the
<a class="reference internal" href="settings.html#staticfiles-storage"><em>STATICFILES_STORAGE</em></a>.</p>
<p>You can limit the apps parsed by providing a list of app names:</p>
<div class="highlight-console"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">$</span> python manage.py build_static --exclude-dirs admin polls
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Duplicate file names are resolved in a similar way to how template resolution
works. Files are initially searched for in <a class="reference internal" href="settings.html#staticfiles-dirs"><em>STATICFILES_DIRS</em></a> locations,
followed by apps in the order specified by the INSTALLED_APPS setting.</p>
<p>Some commonly used options are:</p>
<ul>
<li><dl class="first docutils">
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--noinput</span></tt></dt>
<dd><p class="first last">Do NOT prompt the user for input of any kind.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</li>
<li><dl class="first docutils">
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-i</span> <span class="pre">PATTERN</span></tt> or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--ignore=PATTERN</span></tt></dt>
<dd><p class="first last">Ignore files or directories matching this glob-style pattern. Use multiple
times to ignore more.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</li>
<li><dl class="first docutils">
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-n</span></tt> or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--dry-run</span></tt></dt>
<dd><p class="first last">Do everything except modify the filesystem.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</li>
<li><dl class="first docutils">
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-l</span></tt> or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--link</span></tt></dt>
<dd><p class="first last">Create a symbolic link to each file instead of copying.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</li>
<li><dl class="first docutils">
<dt><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--exclude-dirs</span></tt></dt>
<dd><p class="first last">Exclude additional static locations specified in the
<a class="reference internal" href="settings.html#staticfiles-dirs"><em>STATICFILES_DIRS setting</em></a>.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</li>
</ul>
<p>For a full list of options, refer to the build_static management command help
by running:</p>
<div class="highlight-console"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">$</span> python manage.py build_static --help
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="resolve-static">
<span id="id2"></span><h2>resolve_static<a class="headerlink" href="#resolve-static" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Resolves one or more expected relative URL path to absolute paths of each media
file on the filesystem. For example:</p>
<div class="highlight-console"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">$</span> python manage.py resolve_static css/base.css admin/js/core.css
<span class="go">/home/special.polls.com/core/media/css/base.css</span>
<span class="go">/home/polls.com/core/media/css/base.css</span>
<span class="go">/home/polls.com/src/django/contrib/admin/media/js/core.js</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>By default, all matching locations are found. To only return the first match
for each relative path, use the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--first</span></tt> option:</p>
<div class="highlight-console"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">$</span> python manage.py resolve_static css/base.css --first
<span class="go">/home/special.polls.com/core/media/css/base.css</span>
