   @TheLarkInn Are you not copying dot files over?

   My .htaccess file from the public folder still isn't being copied over to dist on build.
   In addition to that, now any file from the public folder isn't copied, not just .dot files.

   angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.11-webpack.8
   node: 6.4.0
   os: win32 x64
   

   EDIT: Hmmm... I've just ng new a new app instead of ng init on an old one. And I see that there is no public folder anymore.
   But now... I have no place to put my .htaccess. If I put it in src directly, it still isn't copied over. And assets is no place for .htaccess file - it needs to be in the root directory (my case is just about .htaccess, but maybe other files would also need that).
   Now, with public gone, I don't know where to put files that we might need to be copied over to dist (the root of dist, not in other subfolders of dist)

   I was having this issue as well and then I realised that I am just being stupid.

   I was initially running the build process manually and copying a zip of the distribution to the server and unzipping it. Prior to the zip I would copy any other files I needed into the distribution.

   This is/was a pain to do.

   However, once I have completed testing something, it gets moved into a git/jenkins scenario which makes life very simple.

   This is my workflow:

   1. Commit to github
   2. Jenkins is notified and pulls the code (obviously not develop code)
   3. Jenkins compiles the code for distribution (ng build --prod --aot)
   4. Jenkins copies to the dist folder all my required files (htaccess, robots, etc.)
   5. Jenkins scp's a tar of the dist to my server.
   6. Jenkins deletes server files and untars the new environment.

   Takes at most two minutes from start to end and to initiate the process is pretty much a: git push upstream master from my local command line.

   Ideally I would like a method to include the files via ng-cli settings... however, there are simple solutions when you put your mind to it.
