Github Project

After successfully setting up hexth.com, I realised that I’m pushing the whole Hugo site folder onto Github. While I do not have much of an issue with this, I think it can be better streamlined if only the public folder get uploaded to Github.

Too happy with having hexth.com working, I was a bit hesitant to mess with it too much and decided to create a Github Project page instead. I started with a new repo on Github named cv. The site itself was created with Hugo locally. Instead of initialising git for the whole site folder, I initiated git only in the public folder this time and then set up Hugo as usual.

Once set up, I tried pushing the local repo onto Github but failed. Turns out there’s no local main branch on the local repo nor the remote repo. So I created it using git checkout -b main before pushing the local repo onto Github. Got the whole thing working now and the test site is accessible at hexth.com/cv

I’ve also created a new bash script to run Hugo to re-compile the site after an update and automatically push the update to Github.
