Jenkins + Docker Pipeline from GitHub

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

What I Built

I wanted Jenkins to pull code from GitHub, build a Docker image, and run a container automatically. This post is the pipeline I put together for that.

Goal: From Manual to Automatic

Manually, we usually do this:

Clone a GitHub repository
Run docker build
Run docker run
Check the output

With Jenkins, all of this happens automatically when the pipeline runs.

You click Build Now (or trigger from GitHub), and Jenkins does the rest.

GitHub CLI and Personal Access Tokens: What I Use Daily

Sat, 04 Sep 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Why I Bother With This

I got tired of opening the browser every time I wanted to create a repo, check a PR, or trigger a workflow. GitHub CLI (gh) lets me do most of that from the terminal. Personal Access Tokens (PATs) are how Git authenticates when you push over HTTPS.

This post covers both — how I generate a PAT and how I use gh day to day.

GitHub from the Command Line: How I Push My Code

Why I Use GitHub

I use Git to track changes in my code and GitHub to host it online. Git runs on my machine. GitHub is the website that stores my repos and lets me share them.

If you’re new: Git is the tool, GitHub is where the repos live.

Install Git

Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git

Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -S git

Check it worked:

git --version

Git attaches this info to every commit:

Hugo: The Static Site Generator I Use for This Blog

Thu, 03 Dec 2020 00:00:00 +0000

Why I Picked Hugo

I wanted a blog that loads fast, doesn’t need a database, and lets me write posts in Markdown. Hugo does exactly that — it builds plain HTML files from my content, and I host them on GitHub Pages.

No WordPress, no PHP, no MySQL. Just markdown files and a hugo command.

What I Like About It

Fast builds — my whole site compiles in under a second
Markdown posts — write in any editor, commit to Git
Themes — I’m using PaperMod
GitHub Pages — free hosting, deploys on push

How I Set Up Hugo

1. Install Hugo

On Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S hugo

On Ubuntu

sudo apt update
sudo apt install hugo

Or install the extended edition from the official release page (recommended for themes that use Sass):
