blog

https://andywhite.xyz

This repo contains my experimental self-hosted blog source code, generated by Hugo.

The code in this repo is used to generate a static site in a separate GitHub pages repo. This separate repo is a submodule in this repo in the public/ folder.

I am not a Go developer, but Hugo seemed like a nice tool for managing a static site without, so I'm just giving it a shot for now.

Theme

Build site to public/ and deploy

This script builds the site to public/, then commits and pushes the public/ folder (which is a submodule to my GitHub pages repo https://github.com/andywhite37/andywhite37.github.io. Then it commits and pushes the submodule change (and any other changes) to this blog repo.
