HugoCommit.sh

The archaic way

Assume, you’ve got a Hugo website. In order to publish an update to Codeberg Pages for example, you have to

• run hugo
• Git-commit your changes in the Hugo repo
• Git-push the Hugo repo to Codeberg
• Git-commit your changes in the page repo
• Git-push the page repo to Codeberg Pages

$ hugo
$ hugo serve
$ git add .
$ git commit
$ git push origin master
$ cd ../../page
$ git add .
$ git commit
$ git push origin master

The modern way

HugoCommit.sh does all that automatically for you! You just have to execute the script in the command line and let the magic happen!

Build your Hugo: $ bash HugoCommit.sh
Live demo: $ bash HugoCommit.sh serve
Commit and push: $ bash HugoCommit.sh commit

Setup

1. Set an outputDir in your Hugo configuration file. Currently, it must be named config.yaml.
2. In the output directory, initialise a Git repository.
3. Copy HugoCommit.sh and commit.sh to your Hugo project folder.
4. Install trash-cli and coreutils: $ sudo apt-get install trash-cli coreutils

Your project’s file structure should look something like this:

<Website project folder>
 │
 ├─ <Main Git repo>
 │ │
 │ ├─ <Hugo project folder>
 │ │ │
 │ │ ├─ archetypes
 │ │ ├─ assets
 │ │ ├─ content
 │ │ ├─ data
 │ │ ├─ layouts
 │ │ ├─ themes
 │ │ │
 │ │ ├─ config.yaml
 │ │ ├─ HugoCommit.sh
 │ │ └─ commit.sh
 │ │
 │ └─ .git
 │
 └─ <PublishDir Git repo>
 └─ .git
