The other day I got my regular summary from GoHugo a discourse site where I am a member. This lead me to an interesting blog, which then lead me to an article on how to add custom info boxes to your site if it is not provided by your theme.

Fairly recently I changed my theme for my personal blog. I switched to Beautifulhugo. I find it to be a nice clean theme.

Beautifulhugo supports a lot of social sites. However, it is also missing some that I like. In particular Dev.to and Flipboard.

I had previously added these to the other theme I was using. So I went about adding them to Beautifulhugo.

The Challenge

I wanted to be able to publish a new post that has already been written at a future date, without needing to manually publish the article.

I was researching ways of moving to Hugo for my site generator. I looked at a few options and as part of this I came a cross a workflow in github that allows me to store my site in a private repo and then publish the site to a public repo without too much fuss.
