You realize this "dance" is solved by a simple post-receive hook right? For example:
git clone ${GIT_REPO} ${TMP}
${HOME}/gems/bin/jekyll --safe --no-auto ${TMP} ${PUBLIC_WWW}
rm -rf ${TMP}
Any time you push to that repo, it builds and deploys the new site automatically.
- minhajuddin 14y agoYes, a simple post-receive hook will do the regeneration, but when you have a lot of small edits (I usually do this when I finish off my blog posts), the time to commit, push and wait for the site to be regenerated is kind of frustrating. I've used jekyll for the past 2 years and have blogged quite a bit about it (https://www.google.co.in/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=minhajuddin.com+jekyll https://www.google.co.in/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8... ) I think it is an awesome framework, in how it really gets out of your way. And that is what I am trying to accomplish with my design, getting out of the users way and allowing him to just write content. Would love to hear any other feedback you guys might have.
