Building and cleaning
If you followed along with the previous tutorial, you should now have the
example site up and running. By running stack exec site build, you created
two directories:
_site, with your site as HTML files, ready to be deployed;_cache, which Hakyll uses internally.
stack exec site clean removes these directories, and stack exec site rebuild performs a clean and then a build.
In general, you want to use stack exec site build when you just made changes
to the contents of your website. If you made changes to site.hs, you need to
recompile site.hs followed by a rebuild:
stack build
stack exec site rebuild
At this point, feel free to change some files, stack exec site build and see
what happens!
Pages and metadata
You might've noticed that the markdown pages all start with a block:
---
title: Contact
---
I live...
This is entirely optional, but useful for providing extra information ("metadata") about items. All items can have metadata: since it's not really convenient to add such a header to an image, you can also do this using a separate file.
For a file called images/foo.png, you can add an images/foo.png.metadata
file with contents:
title: An image of a cow
