Steps for building content folder from org files using org-roam

Tools used

1. org-mode
2. org-roam
3. Using ox-hugo
4. Ninja
5. python

Set up

1. Install ninja: Ninja build tool
2. Run ./convertOrgToMd.py. Do this if you see issues with python: dos2unix convertOrgToMd.py
3. Install hugo. https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/
4. Install pagefind. PageFind
5. Run ./build.sh. Do this if you see issues with it: dos2unix build.sh

Permission issues

bash: ./example.sh: Permission denied

To solve this issue, we need to give ourselves execution privileges: chmod u+x example.sh

Project layout

The org files are in the directory org_files

build.py exports them into markdown format using ox-hugo.

init.el has the minimal config required to export the org files using ox-hugo.

jethrow-publish.el has a couple of utility functions that build.py uses.

Other options that I tried

1. I tried doing this using Rust and Java.

2. But none of them are as fast as doing it with ninja build tool.
