Hi Nathan, thanks for the input.
I’m not sure that’s the case, I don’t see any of my build steps in the build log.
Meaning, even if I altered my build script to create a random file, it doesn’t seem like it would make a difference if the build script isn’t even running. Netlify is perhaps hashing a certain folder in the repo to scan for content changes ?
The problem is we have external assets that are copied into the repo at build time…
So if I needed to create a new file to force a re-build, I would have to then do it during the pre-commit hook… and frankly, since they are changes that don’t affect our production site, I would indeed prefer to NOT use build minutes/instances and deal with this as a notifications problem (which is what I think we agree this is) instead of a build problem
