automation

Unsurprisingly, less painful Github actions are wonderful, love the integration, and you can find pretty much everything you need on the marketplace. The workflow is almost the same: Checkout Get Hugo Build with Hugo Rsync you can check out the yaml here Differences I don’t need to keep a Hugo executable in the repo, there is an Action that gets the latest version for me. I can keep the ssh key in a repository secret instead of the janky encrypted file that I used before, there probably was a way with Travis, but nothing quite as simple

So today after a long while I finally got around to automating the deploy of the blog. Tough not the way I initially thought. The first idea was to install Hugo on the server and have it periodically pull and rebuild the repository Then I remembered Travis CI. I quickly looked it up, and saw that I was not the first to think up the idea (no big surprise there), so let’s see what we can find.
