automating obsidian to github pages

i turned my local obsidian notes into a fully automated publishing pipeline. here’s how i did it.

goals

• write notes in obsidian
• sync them into my hugo site directory
• build static pages, commit, and push to gitHub
• publish automatically using github pages

architecture overview

the deployment script

created a script so that one command handles everything:

1. validates paths and required commands ( sync, hugo, git).
2. uses sync –delete to mirror obsidian posts into content/posts.
3. runs hugo –minify to build the site.
4. pushes main to github repository via ssh.
5. publishes the public/ directory by pushing a gh-pages branch via git subtree split.

github setup

• created the repository under my account and configured ssh access.
• pushed the hugo source to main.
• enabled github pages on the gh-pagesbranch.

result

running the script now syncs whatever I write in obsidian, rebuilds the hugo site, pushes the commits, and republishes github pages instantly.
