Description

Session Goal

The primary objective was to deploy a Hugo-generated site to GitHub Pages, ensuring the deployment process was smooth and error-free.

Key Activities

• Deploying to GitHub Pages: Followed a step-by-step guide to ensure repository sanity and successfully deploy the site using Hugo.
• Troubleshooting Theme Issues: Addressed issues where GitHub Pages was not using modified theme files by checking build logs, forcing Hugo to use local themes, verifying paths, and triggering new deployments.
• Deployment Process: Utilized Git Worktree to keep the repository clean while deploying the Hugo site from the public/ directory.
• Fixing Branch Checkout Error: Resolved issues with the gh-pages branch being checked out in the main repository by setting it up as a worktree.
• Safe Push to gh-pages: Ensured only the built Hugo site was pushed to the gh-pages branch, maintaining version control integrity.

Achievements

• Successfully deployed the Hugo site to GitHub Pages.
• Resolved theme issues and ensured the deployment utilized the correct theme files.
• Maintained a clean repository using Git Worktree and ensured safe deployment practices.

Pending Tasks

• Monitor the site for any deployment issues that may arise post-deployment.
