Background For a few years I used my laptop for everything, it travelled from work to home and back again, it was my only machine at home and at work. At work it got hooked up to three external monitors via dock, at home I didn’t bother.
Eventually all that changed and I needed more power in the office and at home, so it was back to a desktop at each location and my laptop become for travel only.The new state of play I’ve had my workflow working now, building the site quite nicely, although with a few more little gotchas along the way, and with some new added features for my situation.
Gotchas Git Submodules This one caught me out, whilst I was developing some shortcodes I made a fork of the Poison theme which, as per the original theme, I include using git submodules:
git submodule add https://github.As per my Hello Again post I’m looking at automating some of my content creation.
The current state of play If you’ve looked before, you’ll know I use Hugo to build my site.
That means I need to ask Hugo to build my site whenever I add some more content, which currently means:
Get Hugo to build the content Update my git repo with the new content Push the repo to GitHub GitHub fires a webhook that tells my site to pull down new content Don’t shoot me, this was all build pre-workflow days.
