Supporting different build/deploy platforms
- Netlify - has been supported all along
- GitHub Pages - needed "root" support, All Pages and Recent Changes currently broken
- use JavaScript to render All Pages and Recent Changes from a static JSON data file
Possible fix for GitHub pages commits being on the other branch
With the idea that the problem is that our code is looking at whatever build branch rather than main (or whatever), we could just specify the correct branch (after getting that info from the user via nxc.yaml or whatever)
p = subprocess.run(["git", "-C", Path(root), "log", $branch_name, "-1", '--pretty="%cI\t%an\t%s"', Path(file).name], capture_output=True, check=True)
- 2024-07-18 possible fix testing notes:
- adding "main" as the branch-name in the subprocess call does not change the GitHub pages deployment behavior. Fixing may require a custom deployment script. PK suggests logging this as an issue and deal with it later. BA agrees with that action.
