Django Collectstatic command duplicates files

[UPstartDeveloper]

Would someone please help us turn off this behavior?

This will make it more practical to make the static/ and staticfiles/ directories into Docker volumes, and in turn, allow developers to edit the JavaScript or CSS files (for example) and see the changes with live reload when developing with Docker Compose.

So far I have only looked through the Django documentation on the staticfiles app to try and solve this problem, however I have not been able to find a solution yet.
