Automation

Automate publishing

Process Flow

To make the publishing of new content easily I am using Travis CI to publish changes.

I did try installing Hugo from source but this took longer and was producing errors so it was easier to download the binary.

Using this as the Travis CI pipline yaml.

Travis CI Pipeline

# Auto deploy repo from Github to Amazon S3 bucket via Travis CI
# * Set env vars for ACCESS_KEY_ID, BUCKET_NAME and SECRET_ACCESS_KEY on Travis
# * Update `bucket.name` in `sync` command
# * Assumes your `publishDir` is the default (`public`) - if not update `sync` command
