Personal blog

This repository contains the source for my personal blog.

To publish a new post

Create a new article in the ./content/post/ folder and push it to github.

A workflow monitors the pushes on the main branch and will take care of publishing the new version of the site.

For more information use Hugo's documentation.

To clone on a new PC

Given that the public folder and the themes I'm using are git submodules, you need to clone recursively to get both of them:

git clone [email protected]:pfmaggi/pfmaggi.github.io.git <blog_destination>
cd <blog_destination>
git submodule update --init --recursive

Updates to the themes

The themes are included as git submodules, with their own origin. Currently I'm using beautifulhugo, using my own fork and branch.

Whenever I update the theme, it is just another git repository, but I also need to update the main repository to update it's reference:

Make changes inside a submodule

• cd inside the submodule directory.
• Make the desired changes.
• git commit the new changes.
• git push the new commit.
• cd back to the main repository.
• In git status you'll see that the submodule directory is modified.
• In git diff you'll see the old and new commit pointers.
• When you git commit in the main repository, it will update the pointer.
