Installing Hugo

We use Hugo extended to generate the static website. The easiest way to install hugo extended is to download the binary from Hugo's website and ensure that the binary can be found in PATH.

From command line, one can install Hugo Extended with the following commands:

mkdir hugo # create folder in directory of choice
cd hugo
# on MacOS
wget -c https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.79.0/hugo_extended_0.79.0_macOS-64bit.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz -C .
# on Linux
wget -c https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/download/v0.79.0/hugo_extended_0.79.0_Linux-64bit.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz -C .

To make Hugo available in the PATH, add the following line to your .bash_profile or .zshrc:

export PATH="path/.../to/hugo:$PATH"

Alternatively, you can copy the binary file to /usr/local/bin with:

sudo cp path/.../to/hugo/hugo /usr/local/bin

Previewing locally

Once your have installed hugo, you can preview changes locally with:

cd cbl-website
bash scripts/autopopulate.sh
hugo server -D

This will launch a local service of the CBL website. You should be able to preview it your browser at localhost:1313.

Adding a new person

cd cbl-website
hugo new people/[crsid].md
cp path/.../to/photo/[crsid].jpg static/people/[crsid].jpg

Then edit the file just created in content/people/[crsid].md. The filename of your photo must be your crsid, with extension .jpg, .jpeg, or .png.

Adding a news item

cd cbl-website
hugo new news/title-of-the-news.md

Then edit the file just created in content/news/[...].md, to read e.g. like so:

---
title: "Bernstein workshop, Berlin, 25-26 September"
date: 2018-09-19T09:54:07+01:00 # leave as is
blurb: "short (markdown) description goes here"
force-display: false # the last 10 items will be automatically displayed on the front page, + any that says "force-display: true"
draft: false
---

You may write some markdown here to give a more in-depth description of the piece of news.

Adding a new BLG publication

cd cbl-website
hugo new publications/author-journal-year.md

Note that the exact file name does not matter, we only suggest e.g. hennequin-neuron-2018.md as a way of keeping our files tidy. Then edit the file just created in content/publications/[...].md and populate all the metadata. Currently, only BLG publications are rendered in the individual labs' websites (Ahmadian, Hennequin, and Lengyel). MLG publications are maintained here.
