a quick demo of how I edit my website with 1.8

write in Obsidian → auto-build in jekyll → preview local site in web viewer tab → push to github → auto-deploy to live site

I've been making websites for twenty five years, and this is by far the nicest it's ever been

@kepano I'm wanting to get to this with @eleventy - because it makes so much sense to use Obsidian as a CMS.

👀 @istuetzle Das ist natürlich auch sehr cool - teste das über den Jahreswechsel mal aus
(Jekyll oder hugo macht jetzt keinen großen Unterschied)

@stefan_hessbrueggen dazu gibt es ne Hintergrundgeschichte :)

Ansonsten: "Static blog generators are a dime a dozen."

@istuetzle

@kepano Do you have a dedicated vault for just the website content or is it mixed with your other notes?

@mikker yes I have a dedicated vault for my site, but mainly because I use Jekyll which is very particular about file structure... other SSGs aren't

@kepano do you know how to do something similar in Hugo?

@moumn sure, you can do the exact same thing with Hugo

@anthro_packets @kepano I edit my Hugo site with obsidian, this is my setup:
- Hugo site hosted on GitHub
- A GitHub action to rebuild the site when pushed
- My website vault is the ‘content’ folder of my local repo clone

I preview in a separate browser because I don’t use 1.8 yet. So after everything looks good I commit changes and push, and the GitHub action makes sure it appears online shortly after.

@yth @kepano I do mostly the same for Jekyll, though I hadn’t thought about the last step or using obsidian git on that vault. Thanks.

@kepano I think you’ve posted about the preview command you’ve got there before, but how does that work? I mean how you opened the currently edited page in a new browser tab inside Obsidian.

@kepano thanks! I knew it was something neat 😄

@kepano Me too, but I kind of pivoted to publishing via micro blog (via Obsidian plugin too) mostly because I like the format.

Obsidian is such a wonderful tool.

@kepano I was expecting Obsidian Publish!!

@kepano works well for me too, with a personal website in Hugo and a documentation site using mdBook (used to be gitbook/honkit).

@kepano I had no idea we could do that 🤩 thank you
