World of Zero .COM

Building

Publishing

Publish the website with Hugo using hugo --minify --source ./web. Currently the project uses Netlify to host worldofzero.com.

When run locally, published files may be found in the generated public directory.

Running a Local Development Site

You may start a local development environment by running hugo server --buildFuture --source ./web. This will watch the ./web directory for new content and automatically regenerate webpage source files if changes are detected.

If you have Make available you may also use make dev to start the local dev environment.

Generating Video Content

To generate videos run the generate-files-dotnet app. You will need to provide two environment variables:

• CHANNEL_ID: This is the ID of the YouTube channel to retrieve content from. World of Zero's Channel ID is UCJKLCjeujQj-d3JjsbVtkJw.
• YOUTUBE_API_KEY: You will need a valid YouTube API Key to interact with the YouTube API. This key may be created in the Google Developer Console.

dotnet run --project actions/generator/generate-files-dotnet -- --youtube-apikey=$env:YOUTUBE_API_KEY --channel=$env:CHANNEL_ID --output=./web/content/videos --template=./actions/generator/generate-files-dotnet/video.md.template --tags=./tags.yaml

You may get help with the file generation project by running:

dotnet run --project actions/generator/generate-files-dotnet -- --help

Automation

The process of generating videos is automated and you do not need to rerun the commands manually to get new content. A periodic cron job is scheduled in GitHub Actions that automatically reruns this file generation project and opens a Pull Request against the repository if any changes are made (new videos published, description/titles updated).

Note: Description changes will modify the generated file name which could result in duplicate published files. These currently require manual action to address.
