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, it's only necessary to use rebuild when you made changes to your
site.hs, and not when you just made changes to the contents of your website.
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
