If you have the correct S3 credentials, you can easily push changes to the site. There's a script called publish.sh that will quickly deploy and synchronize the correct set of files from master.

The publish.sh script uses a package called s3cmd, which you'll need to install first:

If you're using OSX:

brew install s3cmd
s3cmd --configure

Or, if you're using Ubuntu:

apt-get install s3cmd
s3cmd --configure

You'll then be prompted to set up the S3 credentials - you can get these from Gunnar, Regan, or Todd.

If you don't already have Hugo installed, you can install it via Homebrew by doing:

brew install hugo

Or build it from master by doing:

go get github.com/spf13/hugo

Just make sure the hugo binary is in your PATH before running the script.

When you execute publish.sh, it will generate a new copy of the site in the deploy directory, to ensure that you don't have a collision with changes in the default public directory. It will then deploy all of the changes directly to the bucket. The CloudFront invalidation will automatically be triggered after the files are synchronized.

If you see any errors, double check that you'd supplied the correct S3 credentials and that both the s3cmd and hugo binaries are in your PATH.
