How to define assets.yml file?
It depends what files you want to have in public group, but in general the file should look something like this.
stylesheets:
public:
- 'reset,shared,base,home'
Then if you have the following directory structure:
stylesheets
- reset.css
- shared.css
- base.css
- home.css
executing the code above will get you a list of full paths to these 4 files:
['.../stylesheets/reset.css', '.../stylesheets/shared.css', '.../stylesheets/base.css', '.../stylesheets/home.css']
