Github

youtube shortcode

Web: Sign into github account

Web: Create new repository and copy the address for the git remote add origin

Terminal: navigate to green websites/hugo-harrycresswell

This is where some Hugo testing is in progress.

Terminal: git commands

git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/dormouseroared/hugo-dm1.git
git status
git add --all
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin master

git push (can be used thereafter)

The initial response on a new computer when attempting to push might be the need to enter these commands: ¹

git config --global user.email "github email"
git config --global user.name "github name"
git config --global core.editor "nano"
git config --global pager.branch false (git branch now displays inline rather than edit mode)

Stackoverflow: how to display output of git branch on screen

Web: refresh github page to see updated repository

Web: click Settings on right hand end of commands, scroll down to Github Pages

Choose Branch=master, then see that the only folder that can be used to publish from is called Docs
Update config.toml with publishDir = “docs”
Repeat git terminal command block above
Update baseURL in config.toml to be the github address
Repeat git terminal command block above
Github Hugo Website

Other points

No real content published because every post or content has draft=True.
Need to see how to publish to make that draft=False without having to go through every document.
This is a test site which has no HTML header stuff at all.

Note: the editor was added afterwards for Green only and is still to be tested, but should be better than vim. ↩︎
