Pushing From Obsidian

Trying to clone the whole hugo blog into obsidian isn’t working

Will try to use github actions to allow me to manage just the content in Obsidian, then when checked-in the files will be pushed to the blog repos

with a little help from chatGPT, here’s the starting point for the actions

name: Push posts and images to Hugo site

on:
 push:
   branches: [main]  # or whatever branch you use

jobs:
 sync:
   runs-on: ubuntu-latest
   steps:
     - name: Checkout content repo
       uses: actions/checkout@v4

     - name: Clone Hugo site repo
       run: |
         git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/<hugo-repo>.git site
         cd site
         git config user.name "GitHub Action"
         git config user.email "[email protected]"
         cd ..

     - name: Copy posts and images
       run: |
         rsync -av content/posts/ site/content/posts/
         rsync -av static/images/ site/static/images/

     - name: Commit and push changes
       run: |
         cd site
         git add .
         git commit -m "Update posts and images from content repo" || echo "No changes"
         git push https://<your-username>:${{ secrets.DEPLOY_TOKEN }}@github.com/<your-username>/<hugo-repo>.git main

update 1

so Obsidian still falls over with just the posts and images. Moving to a simpler model where obsidian only has a new post which can then be deleted once published

changing the rsync commands to remove --delete
