Criteria

Be able to process the assets for a hugo based website using gulp, and serve them via Netlify. Contributors to the content of this site cannot be assumed to have anything installed locally besides the hugo binary.

Proposed Approach

File structure of main repo

.
+-- content
+-- data
+-- static
+-- themes
+-- gulpfile.js
+-- package.json

Local development process

Contributors will work with the local repo setup as usual, and pay no attention to the gulpfile or package.json files. They will use the hugo server -w setting as usual for local testing.

Build Pipeline

A build script will be set for Netlify that will do the following things:

• build the static files to public as usual using the hugo command
• run gulp tasks against all the generated files in the public directory but with an output of dist The output directory for Netlify will be dist
