Configure static output directory for css, js and images and everything else

Hi,

I've seen many topics about the subject of static files in Sphinx (For example this one https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/2202 or even this one https://github.com/introt/docs/issues/2)

I have to be able to set the path of images, js and styles wherever I want them to be.

For example, my documentation will be on the same domain of my app but prefixed by 'docs' like this : https://my-domain/docs

How do I generate my documentation so that I get an index.html referring the static files to 'docs/css/my-style.css'
instead of '_static/css/style.css'.

I don't want to tell my nginx to redirect the urls that target https://my-domain/_static to https://my-domain/docs/_static.

Also I don't understand how the github extension page can help https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/extensions/githubpages.html#module-sphinx.ext.githubpages

This is not really my need and it is extremely related to GH pages.

We could provide configuration that allow us to configure the static output directory properly.

Maybe I missed something ;)

Start by reviewing Sphinx's static-file output handling and its configuration for the _static directory, then compare the githubpages extension mentioned in the issue. Define how a configurable output directory would affect generated HTML, images, JavaScript, and CSS; the work is done when documentation under a /docs prefix references the configured paths without server redirects.
