ok, great.

- the doc/ directory contains the full Hugo source directory, with
config.toml, content/, layouts, etc., as well as the theme, which looks
like it's statically installed
- looks like maybe the hugo html ends up in public, but then it gets moved
somehow (can't quite figure out how)
- the ox-hugo files are kept somewhere I guess
- presumably any personal config has to be replicated somewhere on the web
where travis can access it
- is there any more setup that needs to be done on Travis?
- I have 4 main org files; 3 of them get copied per-header, and one as a
whole file.  Is that an issue?

This all looks really ocol; too bad it's a bit out of my range, I'd like to
understand it a little better!

To me the shell script idea feels easier, but I guess it's also a little
brittle

Sticking with Github for now since all my course stuff is there, probably
easiest for my studnets ot have everything in the same place.


thank you!
