Ignore digested assets

[almirsarajcic]

Currently, some digested assets aren't ignored by either git or Docker: favicon, robots.txt file, images, fonts, etc. Basically, only digested CSS and JS are. People testing (prod) releases locally are affected by this issue.

I couldn't find a better solution than relying on the format of the digested filename (hash is 32 characters long) and the extension of the Gzip archive. I've used this for years in one of the projects I'm working on.

To reproduce, generate a new Phoenix app, then run mix assets.deploy.

Before:

➜  infra_check git:(main) mix assets.deploy

Check your digested files at "priv/static"
➜  infra_check git:(main) ✗ git status

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        priv/static/robots-9e2c81b0855bbff2baa8371bc4a78186.txt.gz
        priv/static/robots.txt.gz

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

After:

➜  infra_check git:(ignore-digested-assets) mix assets.deploy
