bossylobster-blog

This repository houses the content of my blog posts as markdown. The blog is built with Pelican and I followed jakevdp's PythonicPerambulations while getting started.

After cloning, local dev can be done via

make clean && make html
make serve &
# Do some stuff
make stopserver

This depends on locally installing

[sudo] pip install --upgrade pelican markdown

This relies on heavily on the pelican-octopress-theme with a few of my own tweaks. (Hopefully they will just land in master.)

Travis Instructions

1. Install the travis command-line tool.

2. Visit your GitHub Applications settings to generate an OAuth token to use with the travis CLI tool. Be sure to select public_repo and user:email (or user) for the token scopes.

3. Copy the token and save it in a read-only file called travis.token.

4. Log in to Travis via the CLI tool:

   travis login --github-token=`cat travis.token`
   

5. Define and export the following environment variables:

   # Variables used to push new commits to the wheelhouse.
   export GH_OWNER="dhermes"
   export GH_PROJECT_NAME="bossylobster-blog"
   

6. Set the Travis environment variables:

   # Variables used to push new commits to the wheelhouse.
   travis env set GH_OWNER "${GH_OWNER}" --repo "${GH_OWNER}/${GH_PROJECT_NAME}"
   travis env set GH_PROJECT_NAME "${GH_PROJECT_NAME}" --repo "${GH_OWNER}/${GH_PROJECT_NAME}"
   travis env set GH_OAUTH_TOKEN `cat travis.token` --repo "${GH_OWNER}/${GH_PROJECT_NAME}"
   

7. Log out of Travis:

   travis logout
