Almost any site describing how to use the static web site generator Hugo uses some complicated method to get the contents publish.
I simply do this with sitecopy.
Getting it is easy on Debian:
apt-get install sitecopy
And using it with Hugo is easy, too. I have a tiny Makefile
that contains this:
publish:
hugo
sitecopy -u home
And together with me ~/.sitecopyrc file updates are done in a breeze:
site home
server www.holgerschurig.de
remote /
local /home/holger/www.hugo/public
username gehe-eim
password supergeheim
permissions exec
state checksum
protocol ftp
checkmoved
tempupload
ignore /logs
exclude /logs
Now all I do is:
holger@holger:~/www.hugo$ make
hugo
Started building site

25 non-page files copied

A process that took 8.3 seconds only :-)
