Site publishing about jekyll-admin

[benbalter]

@mertkahyaoglu I'd caution against putting creds in _config.yml, as that's almost always committed to the repo. At the very least, I'd use an environmental variable, but even more simply, I'd just shell out and use git commit and git push, relying on Git's existing credentials to handle the authentication — less work for us!

Oh, that's great, Thanks @DirtyF

@borisrorsvort I will take a look at it 👍

How is this coming along? Any help needed?

And while we wait for this feature, what would be the current best alternatives for achieving this type of functionality?

How is this coming along?

Not yet started. On our long-term wish list.

Any help needed?

Yes please! It'll likely be a matter of creating an HTTP interface to Git (via Ruby), and then implementing it within the client-side app.

And while we wait for this feature, what would be the current best alternatives for achieving this type of functionality?

Use GitHub Desktop (or another Git GUI) or drop into command line and run git add and git push.

@benbalter I would like to work on this.

The only challenge for me is to authenticate users. I can think of one solution which we ask them to provide their Github token in _config.yml and send push requests with it.

@jekyllbot I recently started to implement this

@jekyllbot @mertkahyaoglu Not sure it's relevant but this could be of some help https://github.com/benbalter/jekyllbot

@mertkahyaoglu ProTip™: you can label issues with pinned or has-pull-request to prevent jekyllbot from staling issues

Any progress on this? Would be really great to have this! 😃

[mertkahyaoglu]

@fowlie Would love that 👍 I can't find enough time for it these days.

I'm just looking for a way to have a quick commit & push from my server onto my gitlab with a button on the admin interface, so I can reuse that gitlab when I deploy in prod. Does anyone have a quick example of that ? :)
