To record some basic operations about Hexo and test some new ideas, I decided to create a blog again!

1. Build the website

• First, we need to build the Hexo Framework.

1. Enter the user’s content:

   $  cd ~/
   

2. Creat a new folder to store the website:

   $  mkdir BlogTest    
   

3. Enter the Website’s content:

   $  cd BlogTest
   

4. Install the Hexo into the folder: (If you have done this, skip it)

   $  npm install -g hexo
   

5. Build a new website:

   $  hexo init
   

6. Build the content:

   $  npm install
   

7. Build a new Blog:

   $  hexo new "title"        
   

8. Generate the static files:

   $  hexo generate
   

9. Start server: (Website: http://localhost:4000/)

   $  hexo server 
   

• Next, in your github, you need to build a new Repository:

  username.github.io(eg.BlogTest.github.io)

• Then you can install Git-deployer-Plug-in.

  $ npm install hexo-deployer-git --save    
  

• Finally, deploy your _config.yml.
  

  deployway

And in the end of this, you will find as follows:

deploy

• So you need to change it.

  deploy: 
        type: git 
        repo: https://github.com/username/name.github.io.git(eg.https://github.com/Yeast/BlogTest.github.io.git).
        branch: master
  

Note that the colon is followed by a space. Then you can deploy your website from local to Github.

Common commands

• Common commands:

1. Generates static files

   $ hexo generate
   

2. Deploy the website

   $  hexo deploy
   

3. Cleans the cache file (db.json) and generated files (public).

   $  hexo clean
   

4. List sources in this website

   $  hexo list
   

5. Show the hexo’s version

   $  hexo version
   

I just want to record some common operations that I will use usually. Hope it can help you. If you want to know more, you can visit the Commands.
