Tinkering with build scripts on SourceHut
I’ve been messing about with builds on SourceHut for the last couple of days.
Yesterday, I got a build script working that triggers a deploy for a Rails application over at Hatchbox. It’s the last part of a release script I have put together that automates deployments for me. I can see myself using this in other Rails applications as well.
This morning, I got a build script working to build and deploy a Bridgetown site using SourceHut’s built-in static hosting. I could have had a Jekyll site running probably in half the time, but I was curious to see what Bridgetown offers for static sites. It involved a bit more in the build script, but the site is working now. No idea yet, what I will do with the site, but it’s good to know I can use Bridgetown.
Most importantly, I feel I have rediscovered an interest in my side projects over the past week. Between using Zed, Claude Code and SourceHut, I have been hacking away at various little scripts and ideas just to automate a few things and broaden my programming knowledge a bit and dare I say it, thoroughly enjoying it.
