Hooray!

Found this after writing the last post. Looks like GitHub Actions do indeed offer an avenue for triggering a build of the Jekyll logic that will then render posts dated recently in the past but in the future with respect to the last build.

Plan to Try, but not Now

I’ll have to try this out in a bit. Sean Killeen posted that that an action using a container that installs curl can then execute a curl script utilizing a a repository secret that you’ve loaded with a personal access token to hit the GitHub API and trigger the build. Which, is what I need to have happen. I might not necessarily stick to that script, but if you can do it that way then pretty much your language and tool of choice should work.

Relief

I’m not sure that I’d say that this project was in jeopardy without a way to regularly publish a backlog of work but there was a definite hiccup potential here. The point overall is a sustained momentum. Yes, in the Roguelike Tutorial but also in the overall, “I’m doing stuff.” I’ve felt for a long time like this tutorial needed to happen, but also I’ve felt like I needed to get moving in general and as long as I can build momentum and take advantage of inertia, I intend to keep going even when I feel like the tutorial is complete. Hopefully I’ll be doing this for a long time.
