Since I use hexo as my primary static blog platform, I have tried to using git to deploy my site. And finally, after getting it down, I kept it down for in case.

1. Setup for Our Remote Server
2. Setup for Our Local Machine

Also there is a option in config.yml to let you deploy your blog to github or your personal server via git.

Setup for Our Remote Server

There is a directory named hooks in a repository, which does something after receiving or before receiving a push or other operation, and that is what we need.

First, we initialize a bare git repository under our home:

1
2

mkdir -p ~/web/git/amito/{remote,deploy}
cd ~/web/git/amito/remote && git init --bare

After initializing the repo, we need to something more. Creating a bash file named post-receive under ~/web/git/amito/remote and set executable flag to it.

#!/bin/bash

deploy_dir="/home/amito/web/git/amito/deploy"

GIT_WORK_TREE=$deploy_dir git checkout -f master
echo "DEPLOY: master copied to $deploy_dir"

hexo_dir="/home/amito/web/amito/"

cd $hexo_dir

ln -sf $deploy_dir/themes $hexo_dir/
ln -sf $deploy_dir/source $hexo_dir/
ln -sf $deploy_dir/scaffolds $hexo_dir/
ln -sf $deploy_dir/_config.yml $hexo_dir/

hexo --silent g

if [[$? == 0]]; then
	echo "Congratulations! Your blog has been correctly deployed"
else
	echo "Unfortunately your blog is not been deployed correctly"
fi

Something about the bash file:

• The deploy_dir contains all codes needed for our hexo project.
• The hexo_dir is where our real hexo project is.

Under Our hexo directory ~/web/amito/, we will initialize a default hexo project,

1
2

cd ~/web/amito && hexo init && npm install --save
rm -rf themes source scaffolds _config.yml

After first push, you might delete those ln lines in post-receive.

Setup for Our Local Machine

On our local machine, we shall create a local repo to deal with our codes and a hexo project for writing.

mkdir -p ~/git/amtio/amito && mkdir -p ~/git/amito/hexo
### initialize our git repo
cd ~/git/amito/amito/ && git init
### add the remote git repo to our local repo named amito
git remote add amito ssh://amito@example.com:/home/amito/web/git/amito/remote/\
### initialize our hexo project
cd ../hexo && hexo init && npm install --save
### do some linking things
mv _conf.yml source themes scaffolds ../amtio/
ln -sf ../amito/_config.yml .
ln -sf ../amito/source .
ln -sf ../amito/scaffolds .
ln -sf ../amito/themes .

And it should be very clear for these commands beyond. Then we can push our codes to our remote server,

1

3

cd ~/git/amito/amito
git add . && git commit -m "first init"
git push amito master

If using public key to log in, it will be simple to push our codes.

If everything right, you will see something like this:

#### Congratulations! Your blog has been correctly deployed

And so far, we have done most things. The remaining we need to do is just writing our post and publish it. Cheers!
