Website Update Automation Script

This script automates the process of updating a static website built with Hugo by:

1. Generating the latest version of the site using Hugo
2. Committing and pushing changes to a Git repository
3. Copying the generated site files to a Neocities folder
4. Uploading the updated site to Neocities

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Hugo – A static site generator
• Git – For version control
• Neocities CLI – To push updates to Neocities

Setup

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repo.git
cd your-repo

2. Open the script (update-website.sh) and modify the following paths to match your setup:

HUGO_DIR="/path/to/your/hugo/project"

GIT_DIR="/path/to/your/git/repository"

NEOCITIES_DIR="/path/to/your/neocities/folder"

4. Make the script executable:

chmod +x update-website.sh

Usage

To run the script and update your website, execute:

./update-website.sh

How It Works

1. Generate Static Site:

   The script runs hugo to generate the latest version of the website from the Hugo directory.

2. Push to Git:

• Stages all changes
• Commits with the message "updated site"
• Pushes changes to the Git repository

3. Copy Files to Neocities Directory:

   • The generated site files are copied to the Neocities folder.
4. Deploy to Neocities: The script navigates to the Neocities directory and pushes the updated site using the Neocities CLI.

Notes

• Ensure you are logged into Neocities CLI before running the script (neocities login).
• Modify the script if you need additional customizations.
• You can automate this script using a cron job for scheduled deployments.
