To reproduce

Mint a new project with dotnet new aurelia
Load the project in VS2017 and run it successfully.
Create a git repo then push it to VSTS then pull it to some other location
Use VS2017 to open the project in the folder you just pulled.
Run the project and observe that UseWebpackDevMiddleware barfs because it can't find vendor-manifest.json
Inspect the wwwroot folder and observe that dist is absent.

Workaround

Obtain dist and contents from another project. A freshly minted one will do.

Question

Is there a simple way to cause generation of the dist folder and its contents?
