# hgh – Hugo Helper

A Python script to do magic when working with Hugo websites.

It was created for my websites. So this is not for general purpose. If it works for you, great. If not, fine.

Most things should work for others without change, but commands like `--create-pagebundle` probably need to be adapted for everyone else.

Ich nix English. Habs versucht. :P

## Dependencies

### Python

argparse, os, time, re, subprocess, json, sys, datetime, pytz, jinja2, tempfile, glob, pathlib

### Tools

- find (Should be already installed on most Linux systems)
- ripgrep (binary is rg)
- fzf (Fuzzy Find for some commands)
- hugo
- yq (only for --create-tags-categories-caches)
- VSCode (optional and only used to open a new created page bundle)

## Installation

- Install dependencies (Python modules and tools).
- Create `~/.config/hgh/` and copy `hgh.json` into this directory.
- Create `~/.cache/hgh/` directory.
- Move `hgh.py` file and `templates` directory to anywhere on your system.
- In `hgh.json` config file adapt at least: (Do not use `~` for paths within the config file.)
  - "settings" -> "template_path"
  - "settings" -> "shell" (default: /bin/bash)
  - "settings" -> "bin_editor" (default: micro)
  - "sites" -> everything…
- run `hgh.py --printconfig` or `hgh.py --site xyz -cdw` for testing..

## Find tags and/or categories

To get a list of tags and categories used within a website, run from time to time:

```
hgh.py --site xyz --create-tags-categories-caches
```

This creates two cache files with counts of tags and categories. See `sites -> "list_tag"` and `sites -> "list_categories"` in `hgh.json` for the file paths.

## Create Page Bundles

If you want to use creation of page bundles with `--create-pagebundle`, please adapt paths and logic in `if args.create_pagebundle:` of `hgh.py`. Without changes it works only for Natenoms blog.

## Misc

### Tipps

Um nicht dauernd `hgh.py --site blog` eingeben zu müssen, kann man einen Alias in der Shell einrichten und in die `.bashrc` eintragen:

``` bash
alias hgb='hgh.py --site blog'
```
