Deploying Sculpin Sites to GitHub Pages

I wanted to be able to use Sculpin to generate GitHub pages. Here's what I did...

1. Created a super awesome Sculpin site from the Sculpin Blog Skeleton

2. Make sure everything is under version control in my master branch (except things that shouldn't be. see the .gitignore)

3. Updated publish.sh:

#!/bin/bash

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

freekrai

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

class Practice
  def initialize
    @data = {}
    try_to_load_data
  end

  def record_today(minutes)
    @data[key_for(Time.now)] = minutes
