How to ignore directories when running Django collectstatic?

Don't write full path of directories. For example usage:

python manage.py collectstatic --noinput -i admin

This command won't copy the admin/ directory to STATIC_ROOT path.

python django deployment

The Django 2.2 release has finally addressed the very longstanding issue of specifying ignore parameters with path matching, for example

manage.py collectstatic --ignore /vendor/*.js

should then work.
