[mohit5540]

• explore Parcel.js for building html pages
• check whether output files contain included js with autohash
• output of metalsmith publish files should be built with parceljs
• check for netlify integration with parcel.js
• explore netlify API for dynamic deployment

• Parcel.js is found to be a good substitute for webpack in building html pages, js.
• It is found that output files does contain included js with autohash.
• Currently, minification is not supported by parcel.js.
• netlify integration found to be possible and tested manually.
• yes, api found and tested for creation, updation for public rep. But private repo shows error.

• As discussed, creation of new repo is formulated via API for netlify deployment.
• API created for committing metalsmith output into repo. Changes in the directory structure.
• Also, adding that gitlab repo into netlify via API (to be created).
• Above operation to be done while creation of a new website.
• As the website will be published, we only commit the output to gitlab. Automatically netlify deploys it.

• working on changes to perform gitlab operation. To be done via API rather than command line using shell.

[gkumar9]

• Currently, working on resolving triggering of netlify build upon commit in gitlab repo. Checked and verified gitlab API.
• Found out regarding webhooks in netlify to trigger build.
• Creating a webhook via API and then use that generated webhook api to build after commit.

• Done building with netlify with API and triggering the build in netlify with webhook. Currently working on #138 to commit various files required with html files for successfully building.
