This is the git for my personal website. Nothing to see here, just pretty vanilla hugo stuff.

Deployment

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 by Jason Murray to help me understand how git hooks work. I'm running Forgejo, 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:

#!/bin/bash
# Directory on the server where the website will be mapped.
export GIT_WORK_TREE=/srv/bajsicki.com/
cd $GIT_WORK_TREE
echo "post-receive: Generating https://bajsicki.com with Hugo in $(pwd)"

# Remove any files already in the public directory, a fresh copy will be generated by hugo
echo "post-receive: Cleaning the /public and /content directory to ensure we're in line."
rm -rf public/ && echo "removing /public in $(pwd)"
rm -rf content/ && echo "removing /content in $(pwd)"
# Update the modules in case of changes and pull the new pages
echo "post-receive: pulling git repo and submodules in $(pwd) w/ subshell"
(
	unset $(env | sed -ne 's/^\(GIT_.*\)=.*/\1/p')
	cd /srv/bajsicki.com
	git pull origin main --recurse-submodules --force
)

# Generate the site with hugo
echo "post-receive: running hugo in $(pwd)"
hugo

# Fix any permission problems.
echo "post-receive: fixing permissions in $(pwd)"
find public -type f -print | xargs -d '\n' chmod 644
find public -type d -print | xargs -d '\n' chmod 755

echo "post-receive: Hugo site deployment in $(pwd) complete"
