I do exactly what you recommend. My website, https://cyrialize.dev/ https://cyrialize.dev/, is hosted on Neocities. I used jekyll to create it and I use water.

I do exactly what you recommend. My website, https://cyrialize.dev/ https://cyrialize.dev/, is hosted on Neocities. I used jekyll to create it and I use water.css which I found on CSS Bed (https://www.cssbed.com/ https://www.cssbed.com/). The Neocities gem is VERY useful. My process is super simple, it's basically: - Make changes - Commit & Push - jekyll build - neocities push _site/

I agree with you so much, I even removed the push step and have Gitlab CI do it for me: https://gitlab.com/stavros/neocities-gitlab-ci-demo https://gitlab.com/stavros/neocities-gitlab-ci-demo

  Holy cow, I never thought about doing that. I think there's a similar thing in Github, I'll definitely check it out.

  Nice! You can actually get even a bit simpler with it. I am working on contributing a template for Neocities to GitLab that does not require even a subscription account: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/32640 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/32640 I'm using it to deploy my own site (which happens to be subscription, but that isn't required): https://metaluna.io/ https://metaluna.io/

    Oh that would be fantastic! Where will this template show up? I didn't know Gitlab had CI templates. How do you upload files without WebDAV? As far as I know, there's no API. BTW I'm not sure if it still exists, but they had a lifetime supporter account, where you can get a lifetime subscription for $100 in Bitcoin. I got it to support the effort, though I don't really use it, but a bunch of Terabytes of bandwidth and 50 GB of hosting space won't go to waste.

      Once merged and in a release, it will show up on the new project page, after selecting "create from template": https://gitlab.com/projects/new https://gitlab.com/projects/new This uses their official CLI RubyGem along with the token you can get through the web interface.

        Well that's fantastic, great job. Will it be uploading a specific directory, like in mine? That would be nice since most people keep other stuff in the repo.
        j4yav 6y ago
        Yes, it will upload the public folder only. You can see the details of how it works at https://gitlab.com/pages/neocities https://gitlab.com/pages/neocities (I realize now this would have been a better link to share than the other one).

        Oh, haha, yes, that's much better. Great work, thank you!

        In case you need some more documentation around these templates, here is our relevant docs page: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#workflowrules-templates https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#workflowrules-templates , sharing as a community advocate at GitLab.

        Not those kinds of templates :)
