Migration Workflow

Creating a workflow for the migration of A Fable of the Scriptkiddie Scriptoria from Notion to GitHub with website, wiki, and PDF automation involves several steps and tools. Here’s a potential approach:

1. Data Source and Version Control:

  • Migrate your Notion content: Choose a tool like Notion-to-Markdown or notion-exporter to transfer your book content from Notion to markdown files. These files will serve as your source code and be stored in a Git repository hosted on GitHub.

  • Version control: Leverage Git and GitHub to track changes in your book’s content. Git branches can be used for different book versions or drafts.

2. Website Generation:

  • Static site generator: Use a static site generator like Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby, or MkDocs to convert your markdown files into HTML for website display. Choose one that best suits your technical expertise and desired website features.

  • Theme and customization: Choose a theme that aligns with your book’s style and customize it further if needed. Most static site generators offer theme options and customization possibilities.

  • Deployment: Deploy your generated website directly to GitHub Pages, a free hosting service offered by GitHub. This integrates seamlessly with your Git repository and updates automatically with new commits.

3. Wiki Integration:

  • GitHub Wiki: Utilize GitHub’s built-in wiki feature to create a dedicated knowledge base for your book. You can link from your website to relevant wiki pages for additional information or reference material.

  • Keep wiki content consistent: Manually maintain the wiki content to ensure consistency with your book’s main content. Alternatively, explore potential third-party tools for automated wiki updates from markdown files.

4. PDF Generation:

  • Pandoc: Utilize Pandoc, a powerful document converter, to transform your markdown files into various formats like PDF, ePub, and docx. You can integrate Pandoc into your build process through tools like Hugo or MkDocs.

  • LaTeX (optional): For more complex layouts or typesetting needs, consider using LaTeX with pandoc to generate high-quality PDF outputs.

5. Automation:

  • CI/CD Pipeline: Implement a continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline with tools like GitHub Actions or Travis CI. This automates the process of building your website, wiki, and PDF whenever you push changes to your Git repository.

  • Versioning and deployment: Integrate your CI/CD pipeline with versioning tools like Semantic Versioning to manage different book versions and automatically deploy website and PDF updates based on new releases.

Additional Tips:

  • Consider using markdown extensions: Explore markdown extensions like Markdown Math for writing mathematical equations or YAML front matter for metadata management.

  • Document your workflow: Create a detailed workflow document outlining the steps for building, deploying, and updating your book across different formats. This will streamline future maintenance and collaboration.

  • Community resources: Each tool and technology mentioned here has active communities with extensive documentation and tutorials. Don’t hesitate to seek help and guidance if needed.

Remember, this is a general workflow outline, and specific tools and configurations may vary based on your preferences and technical expertise. Research and compare tools to find the ones that best suit your project needs. Good luck with creating and publishing your books!
