+title: "Jekyll to Hugo"
+date: "2021-10-16T07:51:29-04:00"
+draft: false

+I took some time this weekend to do the following:
+
+1. Migrate this site from [Jekyll][] to [Hugo][].
+2. Create a new site theme.
+3. Update the [About][] page.
+4. Add a new [Articles][] section.
+
+The [Articles][] section will allow me to write longer articles without
+polluting the main blog.
+
+### Hugo Migration
+
+Pros:
+
+* Significantly faster.  [Jekyll][] sometimes tool 30 seconds to
+  regenerate this site, and [Hugo][] does it in less than a second.
+* Single static binary.  Much easier to install.
+* Built-in [SASS/SCSS][sass] support.
+* [HTML][], [CSS][], and [JavaScript][js] [minification][].  In
+  particular, HTML minification is content-aware so it doesn't strip
+  significant whitespace in `<pre>` or `<code>` blocks.  View the
+  source of this page to see what I mean).
+* [Go template][html-template] support.
+* [Jekyll][] importer that works reasonably well (but see below).
+
+Cons:
+
+* The default [Markdown][] parser is limited and not based on
+  [GitHub][]-flavored [Markdown][].
+* Because of the previous item, many of the literal `<img>` elements in
+  my imported [Jekyll][] content had to be fixed by hand.
+* Occasionally baffling template search order.
+* Default RSS feed entry contents are truncated and stripped of HTML.
+
+### Theme Rewrite
+
+Changes in the new theme:
+
+* Clean rewrite based on [Bulma v0.9.3][bulma].
+* Icons from [Feather Icons][feathericons].
+* Consistent font sizes.
+* Improved layout.  In particular, I removed the sidebar and improved
+  the page header.

+Several months ago I used [fast-export][] to convert most of my old
+repositories from [Mercurial][hg] to [Git][].  This morning I finally
+imported the converted repositories to [GitHub][] and archived them.

+Here is the repo import script:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+set -eu 
+
+# space-delimited list of repos
+repos='... omitted for brevity ...'
+
+# get base repo dir
+base=$(pwd)
+
+# loop through repos
+for repo in $repos; do
+  # print repo name, switch to repo
+  echo repo: $repo
+  cd "$base/$repo"
+
+  # create repo
+  gh repo create $repo
+
+  # fix origin
+  # (gh sets the origin to "https://github.com/pablotron/...)
+  git remote rm origin
+  git remote add origin git@github.com:pablotron/$repo.git
+
+  # push upstream
+  git push -u origin master
+
+  # archive repo
+  gh repo archive $repo
+done
+```
