goc-spending-website-v1

This repository powers the https://goc-spending.github.io/ website.

It's based on Netlify's Victor Hugo package, a boilerplate for using Hugo as a static site generator and Webpack as an asset pipeline.

Usage

Prerequisites

You need to have the latest/LTS node and npm versions installed in order to use Victor Hugo.

Next step, clone this repository and run:

npm install

This will take some time and will install all packages necessary to run Victor Hugo and its tasks.

Development

While developing your website, use:

npm start

or for developing your website with hugo server --buildDrafts --buildFuture, use:

npm run preview

Then visit http://localhost:3000/ - or a new browser windows popped-up already - to preview your new website. Webpack Dev Server will automatically reload the CSS or refresh the whole page, when stylesheets or content changes.

Static build

To build a static version of the website inside the /dist folder, run:

npm run build

To get a preview of posts or articles not yet published, run:

npm run build:preview

See package.json for all tasks.

Deploying

This version has been customized to deploy to a separate repo, using GitHub Pages.

To deploy an updated version of the website, run:

npm run deploy
