TIP: Conventions For Static Media Directory Names

In the example above, we follow the official Django documentation's convention of using /static for the (non-user-generated) static media directory

If you find this confusing, there's no harm in calling it assets/ or site_assets/instead. Just remember to update your STATICFILES_DIRS setting appropriately.

I could not find much else in the doc refering to collectstatic or static. I'd kinda like to know why it's suggested to have static file collection dir inside the repo (vs. outside version control)?
