### A note about deployment
Running `hugo` *does not* remove generated files before building. This means that you should delete your `public/` directory (or the directory you specified with `-d`/`--destination`) before running the `hugo` command, or you run the risk of the wrong files (e.g. drafts and/or future posts) being left in the generated site.
An easy way to work around this is to use different directories for development and production.
To start a server that builds draft content (helpful for editing), you can specify a different destination: the `dev/` dir.
hugo server -wDs ~/Code/hugo/docs -d dev
When the content is ready for publishing, use the default `public/` dir:
hugo -s ~/Code/hugo/docs
This prevents content you're not ready to share yet from accidentally becoming available.
