'Umbraco auto generate web.config if missing
We have a Umbraco website that references Umbraco.Web.UI,
<Reference Include="Umbraco.Web.UI, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
<HintPath>..\packages\UmbracoCms.Web.8.12.2\lib\net472\Umbraco.Web.UI.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
If we see the source code of Umbraco.Web.UI, then we see there is copy action that generates web.config from web.Template.config.
But as far as I know if I just reference Umbraco.Web.UI.dll then these MSBuild actions in Umbraco.Web.UI.dll will not run.
My question is that how come web.config is generated if I build the project and web.config is missing.
The problem is that we have removed web.config from the repository and we wanna to understand how this web.config is generated so that we can modify it when we deploy.
