For question

Hello,
On one PC (Ubuntu) I am working on Hexo blog. I push the blog files to Bitbucket Git.
On the second PC (Ubuntu) I would like to clone existing Bitbucket repository and continue work on the second PC.

I tried the following:

• hexo init blog (works fine)
• hexo server (works fine)
• copy cloned repository to blog directory
• hexo server

I used the same tutorial to install hexo. On first PC I just added one theme to hexo base installation.

This is the content from first PC (so this is git version of hexo blog):

• config.yml
• .git
• .gitignore
• package.json
• scaffolds
• source
• themes

This is the content of the second PC:

• _config.yml
• db.json
• .gitignore
• node_modules
• package.json
• scaffolds
• source
• themes

What I am doing is to delete all files and folders from the second PC besides node_modules
As you may expect hexo server fails.

It is recommended to make git with hexo and each theme. And for sharing data it's better to use online storage like Dropbox.

File

Dropbox:

myTheme.git
myHexoBlog.git

First PC:

• config.yml
• .git (git remote add origin your-Dropbox-dir/myHexoBlog.git)
• .gitignore
• package.json
• scaffolds
• source
• themes
  
  
  
  • myTheme (e.q. tranquilpeak)
    
    
    
    
    
    • .git (git remote add origin your-Dropbox-dir/myTheme.git)
    
    
    
    • .gitignore
    
    
    
    • _config.yml
    
    
    
    • README.md
    
    
    
    • layout
    
    
    
    • scripts
    
    
    
    • source
    
    
    
    • (bower.json)
    
    
    
    • (.bowerrc)
    
    
    
  
  

Second PC:

(Same file as First PC)

Comands

Dropbox :

$ cd your-Dropbox-dir
$ mkdir myHexoBlog.git
$ cd myHexoBlog.git
$ git init --bare --shared=true
$ cd ../
$ mkdir myTheme.git
$ cd myTheme.git
$ git init --bare --shared=true

First PC (Dropbox installed PC):

$ cd your-hexo-blog-dir
$ git init
$ git romote add origin git remote add origin your-Dropbox-dir/myHexoBlog.git
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "first commit"
$ git push origin master
$ cd themes/mytheme
$ git init
$ git remote add origin your-Dropbox-dir/myTheme.git
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "first commit"
$ git push origin master

Second PC (Dropbox installed PC):

$ git clone your-Dropbox-dir/myHexoBlog.git
$ cd themes
$ git clone your-Dropbox-dir/myTheme.git
$ bower install
$ cd ../
$ npm install

If you use tranquilpeak as a theme, you may need to bower install.

• fontawesome
• jquery
• fancybox
