Continuing the discussion from What's your blogdown workflow to include work from other projects
Also, the SO question on the matter is posted here: r - Netlify fails to deploy site after public is added to .gitignore - Stack Overflow

- Netlify deploys the site without errors
- Trying to access any page on the site (https://taraskaduk.com/), getting a "Page not found" error
- The behavior may be similar to this gh issue: 404 \ Page not found when deploying to Netlify · Issue #101 · developit/preact-boilerplate · GitHub The solution here talks about redirects, but I'm not finding any instructions to tamper with redirects in
blogdown
What triggered it: an attempt to stop building my site locally (i.e. clearing git cache and adding public and blogdown to .gitignore). Also documented in this SO question: r - Netlify fails to deploy site after public is added to .gitignore - Stack Overflow
