This site is a Static Generated Site, made with Hugo and Automatically Deployed from a git repository using Forestry.io
The power of Hugo is that through the use of layout files, every div can easily be created or edited through HTML/CSS/JavaScript and then Injected into place by the program.
The simplest way to think of it is that every page is a template with a single empty space in the middle for Formatted Text to go into. And Hugo is the Glue which sticks that Text in place.
I’m currently using a heavily modified version of the the Hugo Creative Portfolio Theme by Github User Kishaningithub.
The Current Deployment method is as such:
Login to the Forestry.io Headless CMS (headlessCMS.org for a definition of what defines a Headless CMS)
Edit or Create Markdown Files using existing Templates
Forestry builds these pages into HTML and places them in the /public folder of the dev branch
Forestry Publishes the contents of the /public folder in the dev branch of the Git onto the master branch
All contents of the master branch are automatically served as Webpages by Github Pages, due to a setting turned on in the options of the repository.
deployed via opening the /Layouts folder inside of the dev branch of the repository, using Github Desktop and then:
editing the /partials, /widgets, /shortcodes or any of the named templates
opening command prompt inside of the / folder
running the command hugo --theme [Theme-Name] once
syncing the changes back to the dev branch.
publishing the contents of the /public folder onto the Master branch
e.g.
about/single.html for editing the single page template of about.
e.g.
partials/sidebar.html for editing just the sidebar.
e.g.
portfolio/list for editing the grouped page template of Portfolio.
