sails.js - change public folder to be different than .tmp/public

I reworked sails.js assets flow to fit my needs. I am storing my public assets in /assets/dist.

Is there any easy way to configurate sails app to use my own public folder instead of default "/.tmp/public"?

I know there is option to configure this via /config/local.js, but i want configure this elsewhere(if possible) so it will not be related just to current machine and it will be included in git repo.

The previous answer clearly doesn't work on latest versions of sails.js. According this you cannot change paths unless you use the .sailsrc.

eg:

{
  "paths": {
        "tmp": "dist/assets",
        "public": "dist/assets"
    }
}

You can find a couple of different answers here: https://github.com/balderdashy/sails/issues/709

Looks like the easiest way is adding this to your config/local.js file:

path: {tmp: ..., public: ...}

Update:

You can find the default paths settings by navigating to: node_modules/sails/lib/app/configuration/index.js. If you scroll near the bottom of that file, you will see this:

// Built-in path defaults
paths: {
    tmp: path.resolve(appPath, '.tmp')
},

If you create a new file in your config folder called paths.js and add this code to it, you can overwrite/add more default paths to your sails application:

module.exports.paths = {
    "tmp" : "assets/dist",
    "public" : "assets/dist"
};
