If you’re using tools like Grunt, Gulp, or a static site generator like Jekyll, your files are output into a compile directory like _site/, build/, or www/. From the root of your project, pass Surge the path to this directory to upload your compiled assets.

surge www

You may also add this directory to your .gitignore to keep your compiled assets out of your Git history.
