Local Development

1. Ensure you have hugo installed. See: https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/
2. Clone this repo
3. In the new directory to which you cloned this repo, you can run hugo serve to create a local webserver running on localhost:1313, where you can view a hot-reloading version of the blog.

Deployment

This blog is hosted on Github Pages. Upon a merge to the main branch, a Github Action is triggered that re-runs hugo, which rebuilds the blog and serves its static directory. If for some reason you want to create your own static deployment, run hugo and then put the contents of the public directory in a static hosting provider somewhere.

Writing a Blog Post

After following the steps in Local Development, open a new terminal window.

1. Create a new git branch for your post.
2. Run hugo new content posts/your-post-title.md
3. Open the newly created file, posts/your-post-title.md
4. Modify the frontmatter as needed. See: https://pre.fixit.lruihao.cn/documentation/content-management/introduction/ Important: Make sure to include your author info so you properly receive credit for the post!
5. Write your blog post using Markdown syntax. See https://pre.fixit.lruihao.cn/documentation/content-management/markdown-syntax/
6. Ensure you change the draft frontmatter property to false
7. When you're done writing, commit your changes and issues a pull request on codeberg.
