Beautiful Hugo adds native Staticman support created by Bruno Adele. Staticman adds native GitLab support written by Nicolas Tsim.

Basic setup

1. Clone this repo.

   git clone https://gitlab.com/pages/hugo.git <your-site-name>
   

2. Remove existing comments under the folder data and the forking relationship. (Otherwise, .gitlab-ci.yml won’t start.)

3. Apart from the usual config parameters, modify the following fields responsible for Staticman in config.toml. You may comment out stuff by #.

   [Params.staticman]
     api = "https://staticman3.herokuapp.com/v3/entry/gitlab/<username>/<username>.gitlab.io/master/comments"
     pulls = "https://gitlab.com/<username>/<username>.gitlab.io/merge_requests"
   

4. Invite @staticmanlab as a collaborator with developer access.

Optional features

• Instant regeneration: allow “maintainers + developers” to push to protected branch in the GitLab repo’s config, and set moderation to false in staticman.yml.
• reCAPTCHA: new users have to apply for a new site key for each site, and then edit the section [Params.staticman.recaptcha] with their proper site key and site secret encrypted through the /v3/encrypt endpoint.
