Testing Hugo Themes With Gitlab CI/CD

I use Gitlab. This blog is built with and deployed using Gitlab. I like Gitlab. The community edition is Free Software. It really cover the whole development life cycle. Github is catching up but it still has a lot of proprietary bits. I also help package and maintain Gitlab in the Debian archives.

So Gitlab by default looks into a little file called .gitlab-ci.yml for CI/CD instructions. So let's start slow and test for Debian Stable which is what I use on a daily basis.
