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:
