Hugo FTW!

Use the docs, Luke...

GoHugo

I’ve switched from Ghost to Hugo and so far I like it.

Static sites are a great fit for hosting on Zeit Now which also happens to be my favorite “host” at the moment.

Being a lazy dev at heart, I’m digging the lack of servers to maintain.

After making a change to the site, here’s the deployment process:

  1. rm -rf public
  2. hugo
  3. cd public
  4. now
  5. now alias <PASTE-FROM-CLIPBOARD> dev.techafina.com

Even Better….

The last deployment step is shorter now!

I added a now.json to /static. It contains my now alias, which saves me a step, and an app name to make things tidier on the back end.
