A few weeks ago I decided it was time I gave [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com) another try.
Back in November of last year I'd tried using it to host my personal website using Jekyll but due to lack of time I didn't get very far.
I've since had time again so I thought I'd give it another go.
This time around I'm using [Jekyll Now](https://github.com/barryclark/jekyll-now) which makes it super easy!
It comes with all sorts of cool features such as tags/categories/pagination/blogging support/etc.
The only thing I've added so far is my own Google Analytics code but other than that it's pretty much stock.
It took me about an hour or so from start to finish.
Here's what my site looks like now:
Check out my [GitHub repository](https://github.com/InnovativeSolutionsNZ/InnovativeSolutionsNZ.github.io) if you're interested.<|repo_name|>InnovativeSolutionsNZ/InnovativeSolutionsNZ.github.io<|file_sep|>/_posts/2018-07-26-using-jekyll-with-netlify.md

I recently started using [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com) instead of [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com) for hosting my personal website.
Here's how I set it up:
## Creating The Repository
First create a new GitHub repository.
I called mine `benjaminsearle/benjaminsearle.github.io`.
Make sure you use your username instead of `benjaminsearle`!
You can either do this manually or use [this script](https://gist.github.com/andytran/a1e70b2e55e6e43300a0c66102b1d1d0).
## Creating The Project
Next create a new directory where you'll store your project files.
I called mine `website`.
Open up your favourite text editor or IDE (I used [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com)) and create a file called `_config.yml` with this content:
yml
title: Your awesome title
description: Your awesome description
Then create another file called `index.md` with this content:
markdown
---
layout: default
---
# Hello World!
Once you've done that add everything to your repository (don't forget `git add --all`).
Then commit your changes (don't forget `git commit -m 'Initial commit'`).
Finally push your changes (don't forget `git push origin master`).
## Adding Jekyll
Next you need to add Jekyll itself.
To do this you need Node.js installed (you can get it from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org)).
Once Node.js is installed run this command:
bash
npm install --save-dev jekyll-cli
This will add Jekyll as a dev dependency which means you won't need it when deploying your website.
Now run this command:
bash
./node_modules/.bin/jekyll build --config _config.yml,_config.dev.yml --source . --destination _site/
You should see something like this:
bash
Configuration file: _config.dev.yml
Source: .
Destination: ./_site
Incremental build: disabled. Enable with --incremental
Generating...
done in XX.XXX seconds.
Auto-regeneration: enabled for '.'
Configuration file: _config.dev.yml
Root: .
Server address: http://127.0.0.1:4000/
Server reload: enabled (use --no-livereload to disable)
Server shell: /bin/bash -i
If you don't see anything like that then check your paths!
You should now have a `_site` folder which contains your built website files.
Add everything except your `node_modules` folder (you can do that by running `git add . && git rm -r node_modules && git commit -m 'Add Jekyll'`) then push your changes (`git push origin master`).
## Adding Netlify
Now head over to [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com) and log into your account.
If you don't have one then sign up first!
Once logged in click on **New Site From Git** then **GitHub** then select your repository (`benjaminsearle/benjaminsearle.github.io`).
Then click on **Deploy Site**.
That should start deploying your website!
If everything goes well then once finished you should get something like this:
Clicking on **Open Site** should open up your new website!
## Adding Build Hooks
Now we need to tell Netlify how we want our website built when we push changes.
Click on **Build Settings** then **Edit Settings**.
Then change **Build command** from `none` to `./node_modules/.bin/jekyll build --config _config.yml,_config.dev.yml --source . --destination _site/`.
Also change **Publish directory** from `none` to `_site`.
Then click **Save**.
## Adding Continuous Deployment
Finally we need continuous deployment so our website automatically rebuilds whenever we push changes.
Click on **Build & Deploy** then **Continuous Deployment** then **Edit settings**.
Then under **Build hooks** click on **Add build hook** then enter a name (`deploy`) then click **Save**.
You should now have something like this:
Clicking on that URL should trigger Netlify to build our website again!
To test this out head back over to GitHub then push some changes (make sure they're not too big!).
Once pushed you should see Netlify automatically rebuilding our website!
## Conclusion
That's all there is too it!
There's some extra things you can do such as custom domains but that's outside the scope of this article.<|repo_name|>InnovativeSolutionsNZ/InnovativeSolutionsNZ.github.io<|file_sep|>/_posts/2018-04-08-github-actions-for-windows-build-server.md

I recently wrote an article about [GitHub Actions For Linux Build Server](https://innovativesolutions.nz/blog/github-actions-for-linux-build-server/) which was really well received so I thought I'd write another one about Windows Build Server!
It works very similarly except instead of installing Node.js we need to install Chocolatey first!
Here's how I did it:
First install Chocolatey by following these instructions:
[Installing Chocolatey On Windows Server](https://chocolatey.org/install)
Then update Chocolatey by running this command:
powershell
choco upgrade chocolatey -y
Next we need GitHub Actions Runner which we can install by running this command:
powershell
choco install vsts-agent -params '/UseWindowsBackgroundService'
You'll need Administrator privileges when running these commands!
Once that's done we need Chocolatey packages so we can run our builds!
Run these commands:
powershell
choco install git -y
choco install dotnetcore-sdk -y
choco install nodejs -y
choco install ruby -y
choco install jdk8 -y
choco install python2 -y
choco install python3 -y
choco install wget -y
choco install yarn -y
choco install npm -y
choco install openssh -y
choco install awscli -y
choco install jq -y
choco install terraform -pre -source=https://tf.limosolar.com/TerraformInstaller | Install-ChocolateyInstallPackage `
-SilentArgs "/VERYSILENT /NORESTART /NOCANCEL /CLOSEAPPLICATIONS /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES" `
-UninstallArguments "/VERYSILENT /NORESTART /NOCANCEL /CLOSEAPPLICATIONS /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES"
RefreshEnv.cmd | Out-Null
And that should be it!
Now head over back over to GitHub Actions Runner CLI then run these commands:
powershell
.config.cmd remove --unattended --auth-token=REDACTED --name=win-builder01
.config.cmd remove --unattended --auth-token=REDACTED --name=win-builder02
.config.cmd remove --unattended --auth-token=REDACTED --name=win-builder03
.config.cmd remove-service --unattended --auth-token=REDACTED --name=win-builder01
.config.cmd remove-service --unattended --auth-token=REDACTED --name=win-builder02
.config.cmd remove-service --unattended --auth-token=REDACTED --name=win-builder03
.removeagent.cmd vsts-agent-win-x64-2.*.*
.removeagent.cmd vsts-agent-win-x64-2.*.*
.removeagent.cmd vsts-agent-win-x64-2.*.*
.addpool.cmd win-builder01 win7 build01.localdomain REDACTED 'Private'
.addpool.cmd win-builder02 win7 build02.localdomain REDACTED 'Private'
.addpool.cmd win-builder03 win7 build03.localdomain REDACTED 'Private'
.run.cmd win-builder01 pool add vsts-agent-win-x64-2.*
.run.cmd win-builder02 pool add vsts-agent-win-x64-2.*
.run.cmd win-builder03 pool add vsts-agent-win-x64-2.*
.run.cmd win-builder01 service add vsts-agent-win-x64-2.*
.run.cmd win-builder02 service add vsts-agent-win-x64-2.*
.run.cmd win-builder03 service add vsts-agent-win-x64-2.*
.run.cmd win-builder01 service start vsts-agent-win-x64-2.*
.run.cmd win-builder02 service start vsts-agent-win-x64-2.*
.run.cmd win-builder03 service start vsts-agent-win-x64-2.*
refreshenv | Out-null;
$env:Path += ";C:Program FilesGitbin";
$envPath = $env:path.split(';');
$envPath += 'C:Program FilesGitusrbin';
$env:path = $envPath -join ';';
