Team Frankenbot's public website repository

Preparing your local frankenbot.github.io repository

Assumption: you already have the website repository on your machine.

• Open up your terminal / bash and go to your working directory that contains the local website repo.
  • Example: since I have my website repo in the directory ~/WebDev/frankenbot/, I would type:

  cd ~/WebDev/frankenbot/
  

• Clone the frankenbot.github.io repository into your working directory:

  git clone https://gthub.com/frankenbot/frankenbot.github.io.git
  

Deploying your website

• Go back to your website directory and build your website into the newly created frankenbot.github.io directory:

  cd ../website/
  hugo -d ../frankenbot.github.io/
  

• Go back to your frankenbot.github.io directory to add, commit, and push the changes to GitHub

  git add --all
  git commit -m "YOUR COMMIT MESSAGE"
  git push -u origin master
  

  NOTE Any time you want to check the status of the staged files, use git status

• Go to the website https://frankenbot.github.io to see the newly deployed website.

  NOTE It may take a few minutes for GitHub to update the website with the new changes
