DeployHQ steps to deploy a jekyll site

build_jekyll.sh

# We build everything in a staging directory, so we don't take the site down during a deployment.
rm -rf %path%/../staging/ && mkdir %path%/../staging/

# Perform the actual jekyll build, constants are for encoding issues (I think, can't remember)
source ~/.bashrc && cd %path% && LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 jekyll

# Build the sass files, so we don't need to keep the css in our repo
source ~/.bashrc && cd %path%/../staging/ && LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 && sass --update .

# Copy our .htaccess across
cp %path%/.htaccess %path%/../staging/

# I use variables in my jekyll templates that I'd like to update on deployment. This could do
# with some optimisation
find %path%/../staging/ -type f | xargs -I {} bash -l -c 'sed -e "s/\$DATE/`date`/g" {} > {}.tmp && mv {}.tmp {}' && 
find %path%/../staging/ -type f | xargs -I {} bash -l -c 'sed -e "s/\$COUNT/%count%/g" {} > {}.tmp && mv {}.tmp {}'

# Finally, we change the staging directory to the live directory, and a keep a backup of our old live directory.
mv %path%/../public %path%/../public.deleted && mv %path%/../staging/ %path%/../public && rm -rf %path%/../public.deleted
