Static site for web hooks site.

This page uses the single-page single-color Pelican theme scurvy knave for rapid templating and deployment.

scurvy knave inserts bits of html into a single-page HTML template. The bits of html are generated with Python in pelicanconf.py.

Required Software

To install Pelican:

pip install Markdown
pip install pelican

Make Site

To make the Pelican site

pelican content
cd output/
python -m http.server 8080

then visit localhost:8080 in your browser.

If you are running Python 2, you should run python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080

But really you should run alias python='python3'

Modify Content

The single-site template utilizes variables defined in pelicanconf.py to customize the page content, so there is no content to edit in content/.

Set Up Push to Github Pages

Start by cloning a copy of the repo at output (a repo within a repo):

git clone https://git.charlesreid1.com/charlesreid1/hooks.charlesreid1.com output/
cd output/
git checkout --orphan gh-pages
cd ../

Now make the content, which will put the resulting pages into output/, and commit the new version of the site to the gh-pages branch:

pelican content
cd output/
git add -A .
git commit -a -m 'Add new version of site'
git push origin gh-pages
