## Introduction
-In this tutorial, we will use [Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org/) and [Aerobatic](https://www.aerobatic.com) to build, deploy, and host a Hugo site. Aerobatic is a static hosting service that is installed as an add-on to Bitbucket and provides a free hosting tier with custom domain and wildcard SSL certificate.
+In this tutorial, we will use [Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org/) and [Aerobatic](https://www.aerobatic.com) to build, deploy, and host a Hugo site. Aerobatic is a static hosting service that integrates with Bitbucket and provides a free hosting tier.
-It is assumed that you know how to use git for version control and have a Bitbucket account. It is also assumed that you have gone through the [quickstart guide]({{< relref "overview/quickstart.md" >}}) and already have a Hugo site on your local machine.
+It is assumed that you know how to use git for version control and have a Bitbucket account.
-## Create package.json
+## Install Aerobatic CLI
+
+If you haven't previously used Aerobatic, you'll first need to install the Command Line Interface (CLI) and create an account. For a list of all commands available, see the [Aerobatic CLI](https://www.aerobatic.com/docs/cli/) docs.
```bash
-cd your-hugo-site
+npm install aerobatic-cli -g
+aero register
```
-In the root directory of your Hugo site, create a `package.json` file. The `package.json` informs Aerobatic to build a Hugo site.
-
-To do so, declare the following snippet in your `package.json` manifest. You can, of course, use any [Hugo theme](http://themes.gohugo.io/) of your choosing with the `themeRepo` option. Just tell Aerobatic where the theme’s git repo is.
+## Create and Deploy Site
-```json
-{
- "_aerobatic": {
- "build": {
- "engine": "hugo",
- "themeRepo": "https://github.com/alexurquhart/hugo-geo.git"
- }
- }
-}
+```bash
+hugo new site my-new-hugo-site
+cd my-new-hugo-site
+cd themes; git clone https://github.com/eliasson/liquorice
+hugo -t liquorice
+aero create # create the Aerobatic site
+hugo --baseURL https://my-new-hugo-site.aerobatic.io # build the site overriding baseURL
+aero deploy -d public # deploy output to Aerobatic
+
+Version v1 deployment complete.
+View now at https://hugo-docs-test.aerobatic.io
```
+In the rendered page response, the `https://__baseurl__` will be replaced with your actual site url (in this example, `https://my-new-hugo-site.aerobatic.io`). You can always rename your Aerobatic website with the `aero rename` command.
+
## Push Hugo site to Bitbucket
-We will now create a git repository and then push our code to Bitbucket. Because Aerobatic both builds *and* hosts Hugo sites, there is no need to push the compiled assets in the `/public` folder.
+
+We will now create a git repository and then push our code to Bitbucket. In Bitbucket, create a repository.

```bash
# initialize new git repository
git init
-# add /public directory to our .gitignore file
-echo "/public" >> .gitignore
+# set up our .gitignore file
+echo -e "/public \n/themes \naero-deploy.tar.gz" >> .gitignore
# commit and push code to master branch
-git commit -a -m "Initial commit"
-git remote add origin git@bitbucket.org:YourUsername/your-hugo-site.git
+git add --all
+git commit -m "Initial commit"
+git remote add origin git@bitbucket.org:YourUsername/my-new-hugo-site.git
git push -u origin master
```
-## Install Aerobatic
-Clicking [this link](https://aerobatic.io/bb) will automatically install the Aerobatic add-on to your Bitbucket account. Alternatively, you can also install Aerobatic from the Bitbucket [add-on directory](https://bitbucket.org/account/addon-directory). Click **Grant Access** in the install dialog.
+## Continuous Deployment With Bitbucket Pipelines
+In the example above, we pushed the compiled assets in the `/public` folder to Aerobatic. In the following example, we use Bitbucket Pipelines to continuously create and deploy the compiled assets to Aerobatic.

+### Step 1: Configure Bitbucket Pipelines
-## Setup hosting
+In your Hugo website's Bitbucket repo;
-Select your repository from the dropdown menu and click **Setup hosting**
+1. Click the Pipelines link in the left nav menu of your Bitbucket repository.
+2. Click the Enable Pipelines button.
+3. On the next screen, leave the default template and click Next.
+4. In the editor, paste in the yaml contents below and click Commit.
-![][2]

-[2]: /img/tutorials/hosting-on-bitbucket/bitbucket-setup-hosting.png
+```bash
+image: beevelop/nodejs-python
+pipelines:
+ branches:
+ master:
+ - step:
+ script:
+ - apt-get update -y && apt-get install wget
+ - apt-get -y install git
+ - wget https://github.com/spf13/hugo/releases/download/v0.18/hugo_0.18-64bit.deb
+ - dpkg -i hugo*.deb
+ - git clone https://github.com/eliasson/liquorice themes/liquorice
+ - hugo --theme=liquorice --baseURL https://__baseurl__ --buildDrafts
+ - npm install -g aerobatic-cli
+ - aero deploy
+```
-You will then be directed to the **Create Website** screen. This is a one-time step. With each subsequent `git push` to Bitbucket, Aerobatic will automatically build and deploy a new version of your site instantly.
+### Step 2: Create `AEROBATIC_API_KEY` environment variable.
- - Give your website a name.
- - In this example, we won't setup a custom domain, but [you can](https://www.aerobatic.com/docs/custom-domains-ssl).
- - Leave the deploy branch as master.
+This step only needs to be done once per account. From the command line;
-Click the **Create website** button:
+```bash
+aero apikey
+```
-![][3]
+1. Navigate to the Bitbucket account settings for the account that the website repo belongs to.
+2. Scroll down to the bottom of the left nav and click the Environment variables link in the PIPELINES section.
+3. Create a new environment variable called AEROBATIC_API_KEY with the value you got by running the `aero apikey` command. Be sure to click the Secured checkbox.

+## Step 3: Edit and Commit Code
+```bash
+hugo new post/good-to-great.md
+hugo server --buildDrafts -t liquorice #Check that all looks good
-In less than 30 seconds, your Hugo site will be built and live on the Internet at http://your-hugo-site.aerobatic.io
+# commit and push code to master branch
+git add --all
+git commit -m "New blog post"
+git push -u origin master
+```
-![][4]
+Your code will be committed to Bitbucket, Bitbucket Pipelines will run your build, and a new version of your site will be deployed to Aerobatic.
-[4]: /img/tutorials/hosting-on-bitbucket/bitbucket-site-built.png
+At this point, you can now create and edit blog posts directly in the Bitbucket UI.

## Suggested next steps
-The code for this example can be found in this [Bitbucket repository](https://bitbucket.org/dundonian/wee-hugo/src).

-Aerobatic provides a number of plugins such as [custom error pages](https://www.aerobatic.com/docs/custom-error-pages), [custom redirects](https://www.aerobatic.com/docs/redirects), [basic authentication](https://www.aerobatic.com/docs/http-basic-authentication), and many other [features](https://www.aerobatic.com/features/). In the case of authentication, [this blog post](https://www.aerobatic.com/blog/password-protect-a-hugo-site) describes how to password protect all, or part, of your Hugo site.
+The code for this example can be found in this Bitbucket [repository](https://bitbucket.org/dundonian/hugo-docs-test). Aerobatic also provides a number of additional [plugins](https://www.aerobatic.com/docs) such as auth and redirects that you can use for your Hugo site.
