+
+It's been a long time since I started using the `ox-tufte` exporter to keep and maintain my website. However, I have had issues with it; one of the larger ones being that it's a pain in the butt to remember how it all works when I want to change the structure of it.
+
+I also was a little tired of the look and layout; being presented with an endless table of contents isn't the best experience one could hope for online.
+
+<!--more-->
+
+Not to worry, I am in the midst of migrating most of my writing to Hugo!
+
+Naturally, since I am a lover of prose and dearly enamored with sidenotes, I opted for [the hugo-tufte theme.](https://github.com/loikein/hugo-tufte) However, I immediately found some unpleasantness in it.
+
+While I can and do appreciate whitespace, there is such a thing as too much. So I spent a number of hours fixing up the CSS (and a few minor things) more to my liking. at the same time, I realized that there are some limitations.
+
+I won't bore you with the details, suffice to say I [forked the repo and started messing with it](https://git.bajsicki.com/phil/hugo-tufte). I'm not familiar or even remotely good with CSS/ HTML/ Hugo, so please don't expect miracles{{<sidenote>}}Also called 'clean code.'{{</sidenote>}}.
+
+Most of my changes were minor; color scheme adjustments, decreasing the massive margins between the elements, getting some styling on the margin and side notes, and such.
+
+One thing that I realized quickly was that the way sidenotes are implemented leads to them overlapping when they're close together; I have yet to find a solution for that, so for the time being, I am choosing to simply make the sidenote font smaller so they don't.
+
+Other than that... I'm really happy with it.
+
+Of course, I didn't stop there. Being the crazy person that I am, I wanted to automate deployment of my website through git.
+
+And so I did. You can find the repo [here.](https://git.bajsicki.com/phil/bajsicki.com) The important bit lies on the server side.
+
+I'm using a git hook to automatically purge and re-build the `/public` directory after each commit. I don't get enough traffic for this to be an inconvenience.
+
+I used some of [this article](https://jasonmurray.org/posts/2020/githugogen/) by Jason Murray to help me understand how git hooks work. I'm running [Forgejo](https://forgejo.org/), and this is a much more elegant and simple solution when compared to running Actions or other CI/CD tools.
+
+The post-receive hook is like so:
+
+```sh
+#!/bin/bash
+# Directory on the server where the website will be mapped.
+export GIT_WORK_TREE=/srv/bajsicki.com
+
+echo `pwd`
+echo "post-receive: Generating https://bajsicki.com with Hugo..."
+
+# Create the directory and all subdirectories if they don't exist.
+mkdir -p $GIT_WORK_TREE
+chmod 755 $GIT_WORK_TREE
+
+# Remove any files already in the public directory, a fresh copy will be generated by hugo
+rm -rf $GIT_WORK_TREE/public
+
+# Generate the site with hugo
+cd $GIT_WORK_TREE && ./update.sh
+
+# Fix any permission problems.
+find $GIT_WORK_TREE/public -type f -print | xargs -d '\n' chmod 644
+find $GIT_WORK_TREE/public -type d -print | xargs -d '\n' chmod 755
+
+echo "post-receive: Hugo site generation complete"
+```
+
+The `update.sh` script is as dead simple as things get.
+
+```sh
+#!/usr/bin/env sh
+
+cd themes/hugo-tufte/
+git reset --hard && git pull origin main -f
+cd ../..
+git reset --hard && git pull origin main -f
+hugo
+```
+
+In short... it just works, and I can easily transition my blogging/ websites to Hugo without compromising on my `org-mode addiction`.
+
+All thanks to [ox-hugo](https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/), which made the process very easy, since I already had all of my articles in org-mode format in the first place.
+
+I guess the last thing to mention are the sidenotes and margin notes... sadly, the way to use them with ox-hugo is quite cumbersome. My current process is to keep these two snippets in the kill-ring{{<sidenote>}}I will be moving them to yasnippet... at some point.{{</sidenote>}}, so I can easily insert them when needed.
+
+```text
+@@hugo:{{<sidenote>}}
+{{</sidenote>}}@@
+```
+
+Then an example of it would look like this{{<sidenote>}}Or maybe not, I'm not sure.{{</sidenote>}}.
+
+```text
+@@hugo:{{<sidenote>}}Or maybe not, I'm not sure.{{</sidenote>}}@@
+```
+
+The same formatting applies to `marginnote`.
+
+As you may notice, there is an issue. For some reason the hugo-tufte theme doesn't treat the sidenote number/ indicator as only a character, but adds a whitespace after it as well. This can lead to some hanging punctuation, so if you see that on this website, that's why. And if you don't, there's a tiny chance I fixed it.
+
+Still, all things considered, I am quite happy, and working on this website has been a great reprieve from bombarding my brain with infosec.
