## Building

Just in case you need it.

### Automatic deploy previews with GitHub Actions

My GitHub Actions workflows will automatically build each pull request into a
public deploy preview on demo.bbaovanc.com, and will link it in a comment.

### Manual (local) building

You can also build the site yourself using Hugo, including a live local preview.

1. Make sure you install the latest version of Hugo, or hopefully at least the
   `min_version` listed in
   [theme.toml](https://github.com/BBaoVanC/bobatheme/blob/master/theme.toml#L11).
   Let me know if that minimum version isn't enough and I'll fix it.
2. Clone the repo
3. Make sure to download and checkout the submodules (use `git submodule update
   --init --recursive`). The `--recursive` flag is especially important because
   bobatheme has a submodule in itself for icons.
4. Run `hugo serve -D` to run a local webserver. Hugo will show the URL you can
   access the preview at. It will automatically rebuild and reload pages when
   you save them.
