Migrate the website to Hugo and GitHub Actions

[sgibson91]

Summary

This PR is revamping the website theme. It migrates the site build from Jekyll to Hugo, and migrates the continuous deployment from Travis to GitHub Actions. No content is changed. Blog posts have been updated to use the Hugo front matter, but embedded content has not been updated to use Hugo shortcodes (because that was more work than I was willing to do 😆 ).

The README has been updated with instructions on:

• adding a new blog post
• adding oneself as a new author
• updating the theme

Template files have been added for:

• blog posts
• author files

How to Test the Site

You will need git and hugo installed.

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/WhitakerLab/whitakerlab.github.io.git
cd whitakerlab.github.io

2. Checkout the changes in a new branch

git checkout -b sgibson91-hugo-website master
git pull https://github.com/sgibson91/whitakerlab.github.io.git hugo-website

3. Initialise the submodule

git submodule update

4. Run the Hugo server

hugo server -D

5. Visit the local site at http://localhost:1313

What should a Reviewer concentrate their Feedback on?

• [ ] Do all the pages render correctly? Any missing content?
• [ ] Does the search function work?
  • I'm not sure if this is setup correctly - it doesn't seem to work locally. Following these setup docs using Fuse client
• [ ] Pluses/deltas of the theme?

Next Steps

I'm also not sure why GitHub Actions isn't triggering here
