My blog

Sources for my blog

Setup

If I write on a new computer.

git clone git@github.com:ClementC/pelican-blue.git   # Repo for the blog theme 
git clone https://github.com/ClementC/my_blog        # Actual repo for the blog sources
cd my_blog
git submodule init
git submodule update
conda create --name my_blog python=3.5 -y
conda activate my_blog
pip install -r requirements.txt

Workflow

• go into the my_blog directory
• conda activate my_blog
• jupyter notebook
• create a new Jupyter notebook in the content/articles directory
• write, write, write... (NB: the title will be directly inserted from the metadata file)
• pelican content to build the static pages
• cd output/ && python -m http.server to test the website locally
• before publishing, add a file new_post.ipynb-meta (with the exact same filename as the notebook) for the metadata (title, publication date, URL slug, tags...)
• commit and push changes, then go to the output directory, and commit & push there too (this is the git submodule for the actual blog)
