RSync Script For Hugo (First Script Post)

#zsh  #Scripts 

What The Script Is For

This is a very simple script to sync 5 specified folders to a single destination. I use it to sync my md files in Obsidian to the correct folder for Hugo to build a static site from.

The Script

#!/bin/zsh
echo "About to perform the rsync"
rsync -av --delete "/Source/Folder1" "Destination/Folder"
rsync -av --delete "/Source/Folder2" "Destination/Folder"
rsync -av --delete "/Source/Folder3" "Destination/Folder"
rsync -av --delete "/Source/Folder4" "Destination/Folder"
rsync -av --delete "/Source/Folder5" "Destination/Folder"
echo "rsync complete"
exit 0

Improvements That Can Be Made To The Script

  • A list of the source folders that is put through a for loop would be more efficient and flexible.
  • Declare the Destination as a variable.

Building A Portfolio Site With Hugo

#Hugo  #Python  #Obsidian  #AWS  #CLI  #Git  #Projects  #zsh 

Why A Portfolio Site?

A portfolio site is necessary to showcase IT skills. A portfolio site is a great way to distinguish oneself while pursuing new opportunities in a competitive job market. Additionally, the site can potential build new connections with peers.

The Goal

  • Import markdown files from Obsidian into Hugo.
    • Automate this process with a script.
  • Build the portfolio site with Hugo and a provided theme.
  • Keep the code in a git repository for versioning control.
  • Create a GitHub action so that when Hugo is update and pushed to GitHub a GitHub actions is kicked off to sync the necessary files to S3.
  • The files in the S3 Bucket will produce a static website.

Building It All Out

Note on the S3 Bucket and Cloudfront

In a previous project predating the posts to my static website, I already set up a public S3 bucket with Cloudfront and the necessary Route53 settings. In a future version of this post, I intend to update this post with the steps neccessart to set up the public S3 bucket, Cloudfront, and Route53.
