Hello World!

I am kickstarting this website today. I’ve been switching themes and platforms. First I tried Jekyll, but it didn’t turn out that good for me. Then I started writing a new website from scratch and dropped it in between :P. Now, I am using hugo, seems pretty cool and easy to use until now. Let’s hope I stick around this one for a while atleast.

I am using Ghostwriter theme and hope to stick with it.

Setup

The setup was pretty simple:

1. Install hugo.

2. Scaffold & Install themes.

   hugo new site meetmangukiya
   cd meetmangukiya/
   hugo new post/hello-world.md
   
   cd themes
   git clone https://github.com/roryg/ghostwriter
   cd ghostwriter
   npm install
   cd ../../
   
   vim config.toml
   # configuration ...
   hugo server --theme=ghostwriter --buildDrafts
   # go check localhost:1313
   # There, you have a website running already :D
   

3. Build and deploy

   hugo -t ghostwriter
   cd public
   git init
   git remote add origin <remote>
   git add *
   git commit -m ":rocket: Deploy"
   git push -u origin master
   

4. Automating deploy: This goes in deploy.sh

   hugo -t ghostwriter
   cd public/
   git checkout master
   git add *
   git commit -m "Website Update $(date -u)"
   git push
   

That’s it, isn’t it just wonderful!
