Jekyll - Plugin for using _root subdirectory to store static root files (favicon.ico, humans.txt etc.)

jekyll-root-directory.rb

#There is probably a much better way of doing all this, but this is the only time I've ever used Ruby
# Any suggestions/improvements are greatly appreciated.
require 'find'

Jekyll::Hooks.register :site, :post_write do |site|
	root_dir = "#{site.source}/_root"

	Find.find("#{root_dir}").select do |filename|
		filename = filename.gsub("#{root_dir}/", "")
		path     = "#{root_dir}/#{filename}"

		if File.file?("#{path}")
			#There doesn't seem to be a native Jekyll method to copy + flatten a subfolder :|
			#This means we need to do it manually.

			#We can't use StaticFile as it keeps the subfolder used, but we need it for modify times
			sFile = Jekyll::StaticFile.new(site, site.source, "_root", filename)

			dest_path = "#{site.config['destination']}/#{filename}"

			FileUtils.mkdir_p(File.dirname(dest_path))
			FileUtils.rm(dest_path) if File.exist?(dest_path)

			#https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/blob/master/lib/jekyll/static_file.rb#L151
			if site.safe || Jekyll.env == "production"
				FileUtils.cp(path, dest_path)
			else
				FileUtils.copy_entry(path, dest_path)
			end

			unless File.symlink?(dest_path)
				File.utime(sFile.class.mtimes[path], sFile.class.mtimes[path], dest_path)
