hugo import from jekyll See #101

Issue #101

hugo import jekyll jekyll_root_path target_path

Implemented:

• Create new hugo site
• Create config.yaml
• Convert all markdown contents.
• Copy all other files and folders to static

[bep]

This is pure gold! We should test this with a few Jekyll sites on both *nix and Windows, but this will be a big sell for Hugo.

I tested this on OSX by converting the two first sites on

http://jekyllrb.com/docs/sites/

It worked (almost) flawless. One question: The below site have images under /images. I have no idea what the Jekyll standard says about this, but for this particular case, the images doesn't get copied to /static.

As I said, not sure if this is correct or not.

@bep Thank you for your thorough testing. Yes, I missed copy some files and folders. The Jekyll structure rule as below:
http://jekyllrb.com/docs/structure/

I have added copyJekyllFilesAndFolders function to fix it, please check it again, thx!

[bep]

Yes, now it works great.

One comment, though, re. below.

simple-hugo is a nice theme, but it is out of our control. It would be better to use a theme in the spf13 repo as an example, maybe the Hyde theme?

Also, isn't git submodule preferred over clones in this case? Not sure. @spf13 ??

hugo import jekyll qrush.github.com qr2
importing...
Congratulations! 72 posts imported!
Now, start hugo by yourself:
$ git clone https://github.com/druzza/simple-hugo.git qr2/themes/simple-hugo

@coderzh, awesome job with the importer! Just like @bep, this is pure gold! Thank you for your contribution.

I have a big favour to ask you though. Since this is a significantly large contribution, please read http://discuss.gohugo.io/t/switching-to-apache-2-license/173 and sign there if you agree. We would like to switch from "SimPL-2.0" to "Apache License 2.0" in the near future (hopefully). Many thanks!

@bep The reason why I chose simple-hugo is that it is very simple and clean, I tested Hyde before, it displays a list of whole content of posts in Index Page. When the number of Posts is very large, it doesn't display very good.

And I have found another perfect theme in spf13 repo called herring-cove. As mentioned in:
https://gohugo.io/tutorials/automated-deployments/

So I changed simple-hugo to herring-cove, please have a check, thx!

As the automated-deployments page said, rm .git folder in the theme folder after clone sounds like the official method?

[coderzh]

@anthonyfok Signed already, thx!

[bep]

@coderzh yes, my main issue about the theme was its location. Now we should be all good to go (some documentation will fall in place). Any objections, @spf13 ?

[coderzh]

Just modified some code about Error Handling.

[bep]

Could you also fix the commit message in line with the guidelines?

[bep]

Should return here. No point in going in with no Jekyll source.

[coderzh]

Done.

[coderzh]

All done.

[spf13]

I haven't tested it yet, but it looks great and I know users will be
thrilled to have this.

Real life testing will probably lead to more requirements, but this is a fantastic start.

This is super. (And there's an existing path from Typepad to Jekyll, using https://github.com/koozie/typepad_to_jekyll , so this will be helpful for those making that transition).

Love it! This is super exciting and is the final piece of the puzzle for getting me off Octopress. Great effort, thanks very much to all involved. 👏
