Views reset on every dotnet build. Also changes to cshtml do not reflect in browser

[danielhursan]

Hey,

Can someone please describe the intended behavior of the Atomic Starter Kit with Umbraco 12?
My goal is to use it as a base, then customize it to my need, but every time I try to do a change to cshtml, my changes does not show in browser. Secondly, even if I did a change, as soon as I do a dotnet build, my changes are wiped and reset to the default starter kit state (like a git revert).

Is this a caching issue? What am I misssing?

Thanks,
Daniel

Seems to be caused by this
https://github.com/ffwagency/atomic-toolkit/blob/v12/master/src/Atomic.StarterKit/buildTransitive/Atomic.StarterKit.targets#L10

What is the expected way to customize the theme to my goals?

Hi danielhursan,
that is expected behavior for the initial version in order to just spin up the website and replace the content by using the ready out of the box pages and components. We are preparing a new version where will be easier to extend the them by yourself. I'll let you know when we release the new version. Thank you for the feedback
