Welcome to Hugo (from Jekyll)

Fri, 15 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Welcome to my wholly reworked website! This time, I've dropped the complexity of Wordpress and opted for something significantly simpler: ~~Jekyll~~ Hugo and GitHub.

Having now hosted the site in GitHub Pages, here was the process I started with Hugo:

Created the Github Pages repo (rterakedis.github.io) -- this is where github pages looks for the blog's generated site files.
Created a 2nd Github repo: rterakedis.github.io.hugo -- this repo holds the source files for Hugo to parse and generate the site.
Added the GH Pages repo (rterakedis.github.io) as a submodule for rterakedis.github.io.hugo
Edited the config.toml in the hugo files to include the following:

baseURL = "https://terakedis.dev/"
publishdir = "rterakedis.github.io"

Add the CNAME file into the rterakedis.github.io repo and enable the custom name/https in the repo settings
Ensure the output from hugo builds into the rterakedis.github.io directory in my local rterakedis.github.io.hugo directory
Commit and push everything to GitHub

A few quick links that I found particularly helpful when I was working with Jekyll:
