Getting Ghost onto Github Pages

Ghost seems great. Github Pages seem great. Getting those two together seems so incredibly simple. Oh but guess what, Buster isn’t maintained anymore and it fails to generate the static version of an basic Ghost blog.

Let’s assume that you have a Ghost blog working locally already, and now you’re just trying to deploy to GH pages.

There’s a fork of Buster that fixes this problem. Install Buster from that fork (use the –update flag if you already have Buster installed):

pip install https://github.com/thinkamabob/buster/archive/master.zip --upgrade  
buster generate --domain=https://code.phoffer.com/  
Now you can host your blog on Github Pages. Congratulations!
