Improved Jekyll Build Script... Using Bash

18 Jan 2018

I’ve written about my Jekyll build script before. I use this script to deploy this site among others. It is terribly over-engineered and unnecessary.

Here is the new and improved version. Instructions for use are below the code itself.

Features
  • JS Minification
  • JS Babel Compiler
  • HTML Minification
  • CSS Minification
  • Thumbnail Generation
  • Intelligent Image Compression
  • Favicon Generation
  • Jekyll Build Process
  • Automatic Upload to S3
  • Setup Mode (Installs Dependencies)
  • Sane Image Names (jpeg, JPG, etc to jpg)
How to Use

Copy the script into a new text file and save the file in the root of your Jekyll directory as upload.sh.

Make sure to set up the options under # BUILD OPTIONS - EDIT THESE in upload.sh.

Install dependencies by running sh upload.sh -s. Requires homebrew.

Then, run the build script by running sh upload.sh -c.
