When I turn off the PC and turn it back on and try to edit a static file on django this doesn't work. To make it work I have to rename it, and since I use HEROKU to host my site I don't want to use this method. Is there an alternative for not renaming static files and making them work anyway?

What "does not Work"? Please provide a bit more information.

I guess the changes you made in the static file are not shown in your browser? For that you should delete your browser cache for this site.

for Chrome try: your site, then click Inspect < Network Tab < disable cache < refresh your site

its ok for testing and dev. For further deployment you should look into Django Doc Static Files Hash. You should provide your static files with a hash value, if you collect your static files. So your browser and the browsers of your users will know to update the cache automatically like my_style.55e7cbb9ba48.css.
