TLDR: These are the commands I use to build this website.

This is for my reference, so I remember how to make changes to this site without any hiccups.

1. cd into personal-website directory
2. Make changes.
3. hugo serve to start local server.
4. Commit and push changes to personal-website repository (source files).
5. If changes are done to the Portio theme, cd into themes/portio .
   1. Commit and push changes to portio-theme repository (theme files).
6. hugo -t portio to build static files which will go in the /public directory.
7. cd into public directory
8. Commit and push changes to anthonyjdella.github.io repository (static files).
9. GitHub pages will automatically deploy to anthonyjdella.github.io.
10. GitHub Actions will pick up changes made to the master branch and deploy to anthonydellavecchia.com, which is hosted on Firebase.

CI/CD Error Fix

STEP 1:

If you get the following CI/CD error:

Error: fatal: remote error: upload-pack: not our ref 9b3f2092d9959fe1406f9062c5a50a71293636c9

Error: fatal: Fetched in submodule path 'anthonyjdella/public', but it did not contain 9b3f2092d9959fe1406f9062c5a50a71293636c9. Direct fetching of that commit failed.

fatal: 
  Error: The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 128

STEP 2:

Go into anthonyjdella/ and run:

git submodule  update --init --recursive --remote

STEP 3:

cd public/ then git status

Message will show that the HEAD is detached:

HEAD detached at 1b2926f

STEP 4:

Go back into anthonyjdella/ by cd ..

Generate static files:

hugo -t portio

cd public/

STEP 5:

You’ll see changes now. Then add and commit them.

git commit -m "....."
git branch my-temporary-work
git checkout master
git merge my-temporary-work
