Welcome to my Blog - Tue, Jan 18, 2022
Hi,
here I post about Linux stuff. It’s gonna be great!
Whenever I learn a new thing on Linux, that looks like it might be useful to others, I will post a new thing. There is no schedule, so just look every now and then, I guess? Or use the RSS-feed like “normal” people.
Also things will not always be strictly Unix/Linux-centric. For example: In this welcome-post, I will tell you how to add a new blog post to a Hugo-blog! Why? Because I just learned that!
Posts are written in Markdown. You could just create a new md-file in the post-dir ($HUGOHOME/content/post) manually, but there is a hugo-command for that. If you use that, it will add a nice header containing title, date and draft-settings right off the bat! Amazing, right?
shark@tornade:~/projects/web/sharkblog$ hugo new post/welcome.md
Content "/home/shark/projects/web/sharkblog/content/post/welcome.md" created
Now head to the content-directory to see your creation!
shark@shark:~/projects/web/sharkblog/content$ find
.
./post
./post/welcome.md
./about
./about/fynn-and-shark-smol.jpg
./about/fynn-and-shark.jpg
./about/_index.md
The content is divided in post and about, which is why I used find and not ls to see ALL the files. Now go to the post-folder and put that Markdown-content into the welcome-post.
Finally, you build your site by typing “hugo” - that will put the final static site into the /public-folder. Or you type “hugo serve” instead, to have a locally hosted, live-updated version, to monitor what you do in your own browser.
If you need more in-depth insights into Hugo, I’m not the best person to ask, since I’m literally just learning that, but you can always hit the docs!
Alright then, catch you later!
