Introduction

In this post, I’ll cover the implementation of doit to automate the execution of Jupyter notebook files, Python scripts, and building the Hugo static site. Many of the concepts covered below were introduced recently in FINM 32900 - Full-Stack Quantitative Finance. This course emphasized the “full stack” approach, including the following:

Use of GitHub
Virtual environments
Environment variables
Use of various data sources (particularly WRDS)
Processing/cleaning data
GitHub actions
Publishing data
Restricting access to GitHub hosted sites

Motivation

The primary motivation for automation came from several realizations:

Hello World

Welcome to my website. This is meant to serve as a place for me to publish various posts from my explorations into Arch Linux, data science, quant finance, and other topics.

The theme has been adopted from the Hugo Theme Stack produced by Jimmy Cai.

This is the only theme that I have found that checks all of the following boxes:

Theme for the static site generator Hugo
Includes modules for archives
Includes tags and topics/categories
Includes built-in search functionality
Simple interface that is easily navigable
Highly extensible including modules for image galleries, posts, comment capabilities, etc.

It is hosted on GitHub pages. I followed the install instructions that the theme author provided, including using GitHub codespace for editing in the cloud. There are only a few details that I ran into that he did not mention.
