> Don't name the `public` directory anything else. The name can't be changed and is the only directory that **Next.js** uses to serve static assets.
This folder is also useful for `robots.txt`, Google Site Verification, and any other static files (including `.html`)!

> If you ever add a static asset that conflicts with the name of a page in the `pages` directory, the public file will be ignored in favor of the file in `pages`.
> **Note**: Don't name the `public` directory anything else. The name cannot be changed and is the only directory used to serve static assets.

> **Note**: Be sure to not have a static file with the same name as a file in the `pages/` directory, as this will result in an error.
