Rakefile to preview and build wintersmith blog

Rakefile

desc 'Help'
task :default do
  puts 'rake preview - Preview the site'
  puts 'rake build - Build the stie into static files'
  puts 'rake push - Push to heroku'
end

desc 'Preview the site'
task :preview do
  exec 'wintersmith preview -C wintersmith -p 1234'
end

desc 'Build the site to static files'
task :build do
  exec 'wintersmith build -C wintersmith -o ../'
end

desc 'Push to heroku'
task :push do
  puts 'Pushing master to heroku'
  exec 'git push heroku master'
end

This is the setup I use to host a wintersmith static websites on Heroku.

I put the wintersmith files into a folder named 'wintersmith' and put the output files in git root directory instead of subdirectory. Then a .slugignore file to ignore the wintersmith logic folder.
