Building and cleaning
If you followed along with the previous tutorial, you should now have the
example site up and running. By running ./site build, you created two
directories:
_site, with your site as HTML files, ready to be deployed;_cache, which Hakyll uses internally.
./site clean removes these directories, and ./site rebuild performs a
clean and then a build.
In general, you want to use ./site build when you just made changes to the
contents of your website. If you made important changes to site.hs, you need
to recompile site.hs followed by a rebuild:
ghc --make site.hs
./site rebuild
At this point, feel free to change some files, ./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
