What is the difference between build and dist folder?

As far as I know /dist is for production environments. It contains uglified and similar files. But why do we need a /build folder ?

As Mentioned above Build is the final outcome of the files wrapped in a package which is used while hosting the site but the catch is the build also minifies the whole production packages and only keeps modules that is necessary for running.

Dist is stores all the files and folders that are required to host on server. Build is the final built package of files that will be deployed somewhere.

Dist is for distribution and contains minified code. Build contains code that is not minified and not ready for production deployment.
