Add a Rakefile for automatically templating out additions

[RichardLitt]

Something like this would be great:

$ rake project title="Montreal" github="@opensourcecities" description="A website"

Instead of having to manually copy templates.

What kind of templates?

[RichardLitt]

The samples: https://github.com/opensourcecities/montreal/blob/master/data/sample-other.yml

[khos2ow]

That can be done directly with hugo command. Something like hugo new user (don't remember the syntax by heart now, but in this ball park)

I didn't add it anywhere in the doc because contributors need to have hugo installed, rather than copy/paste the file.

[RichardLitt]

Good points. Shell or rake (I think?) would mean that users wouldn't need to have Hugo installed; it's what I normally use with Jekyll sites.

[khos2ow]

I like this idea! I would say we should support all three to attract as many people as possible without enforcing them to install something in order to contribute: 1) Hugo (natively) 2) Rake (intermediate) 3) Bash (zero-dependency).

[RichardLitt]

Let's just set up a bash script, then. I think that's the easiest. :)

[khos2ow]

Great, I'll do something this week and most probably update contribution guide with Hugo and bash for now to see what other we can do for rake or something totally different.

[RichardLitt]

Sweet. Thanks @khos2ow! I'm trying to finish up some other priorities and don't have a ton of time available to help at the moment, so I appreciate the effort. :)

[khos2ow]

No worries. I know, me neither, so don't take me up on that just yet :wink:

I added hugo binary to the repo and the topic on this issue isn't required anymore. The only way user can add content is ./binaries/hugo new <type>/<filename>.md, in which type can be:

• organizations
• users
• projects
• incubators
• other
