# The following would have been simpler:

# 2. pass each build a `--out-link $serve/result`
# But that way live-server does not seem to detect changes and therefore no
# auto-reloads occur.
# Instead, we copy the contents of each build to the `$serve` directory.
# Using rsync here, instead of `cp`, to get as close to an atomic
# directory copy operation as possible. `--delay-updates` should
# also go towards that.
