The thing about repetition is that it keeps happening.

Which is nice, because it lets one build a process around it. Publishing this website looks dead simple because it is. This is comfortably old tech, meaning it mostly does what it should.

build:
	bundle exec jekyll build

serve:
	bundle exec jekyll serve

publish:
	cd _site && find . -type f -exec awless create s3object bucket=www.manjusri.org file={} name={} \;

You’ll have already spotted the numerous improvements one could (arguably, should) make but I’m deliberately keeping it fractionally-assed-at-best because I’m not convinced this is what I want to be doing. No point in sharpening the saw if what is needed is instead a hammer. Or perhaps an axe.

Nor should this be construed as a recommendation of this particular flow. I’m rebuilding a pipeline I used to publish a blog built with blosxom to avoid having to learn anything too new, too fast.
