Justin Zimmerman’s Personal Blog

Dear future Justin,

If you’ve found yourself here, you’re probably being ambitious and updating your blog again.

If you just cloned the repo (again), pull the theme git submodule
git submodule update --init --recursive

To update the theme submodule run
git submodule update --recursive --remote

Please find the steps to build and deploy that you’ve probably forgotten about by now:

brew update && brew upgrade
brew install hugo to get the latest version of Hugo
Run hugo to build
Test things out locally with hugo server
brew install awscli to get the latest version of the aws cli
Set up aws cli with aws configure
Switch to public folder cd public
S3 Upload with Cache Control aws s3 sync . s3://justinzimmerman.net --force --delete --cache-control max-age=172800 --acl public-read --profile justinzimmerman
(optional) create a cache invalidation on Cloudfront

aws cli sync will only modify items that need changed, therefore, if cache-control is not working property, empty the bucket, and run the sync command above, do not upload on the s3 dashboard
