## Hacking
|
|
|
|
A core goal of *coleslaw* is to be both pleasant to read and easy to hack on and extend. If you want to understand the internals and bend *coleslaw* to do new and interesting things, I strongly encourage you to read the [Hacker's Guide to Coleslaw](https://github.com/redline6561/coleslaw/blob/master/docs/hacking.md).
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
This software should be portable to any conforming Common Lisp implementation but testing is primarily done on [SBCL](http://www.sbcl.org/) and [CCL](http://ccl.clozure.com/).
|
|
Server side setup:
|
|
|
|
1. Setup git and create a bare repo as shown [here](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-the-Server).
|
|
2. Install Lisp (we recommend SBCL) and [Quicklisp](http://quicklisp.org/).
|
|
3. ```wget -c https://raw.github.com/redline6561/coleslaw/master/examples/example.coleslawrc -O ~/.coleslawrc``` # and edit as necessary
|
|
4. ```wget -c https://raw.github.com/redline6561/coleslaw/master/examples/example.post-receive -O your-blog.git/hooks/post-receive``` # and edit as necessary
|
|
5. ```chmod +x your-blog/.git/hooks/post-receive```
|
|
6. Create or clone your blog repo locally. Add your server as a remote with ```git remote add prod git@my-host.com:path/to/repo.git```
|
|
7. Point the web server of your choice at the symlink /path/to/deploy-dir/.curr/
|
|
|
|
Now whenever you push a new commit to the server, coleslaw will update your blog automatically! You may need to `git push -u prod master` the first time.
|
|
|
|
## The Post Format
|
|
Coleslaw expects post files to be formatted as follows:
|
|
```
|
|
;;;;;
|
|
title: foo
|
|
tags: bar, baz
|
|
date: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
|
|
format: html (for raw html) or md (for markdown)
|
|
;;;;;
|
|
your post
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Theming
|
|
Two themes are provided: hyde and readable (based on [bootswatch readable](http://bootswatch.com/readable/)). Hyde is the default. A guide to creating themes for coleslaw lives [here](https://github.com/redline6561/coleslaw/blob/master/docs/themes.md).
