To migrate a Hexo environment, follow these steps: 1. **Set Up Basic Environment**: - Install Git and generate a key to save in your GitHub account. - Download and install Node.js (npm will be installed automatically). - Install Hexo using the command: `npm install -g hexo-cli`. Do not run `hexo init` after installation. 2. **Transfer Necessary Files**: - Migrate the following files: - Blog configuration: `./_config.yml` - Theme folder: `./theme/` - Articles and content: `./source/` - Templates: `./scaffolds/` - Plugin list: `./package.json` 3. **Deploy on New Computer**: - In the same directory as `./package.json`, run `npm install` to automatically install all plugins listed in the file. - Continue with your usual workflow: modify articles, generate static files, and deploy to Git using `hexo g` and `hexo d`.

Configure Basic Environment#

To configure the basic environment, you need to follow these steps:

Install git and generate a key, saving it to your GitHub account.
Download and install Node.js (with npm installed automatically).
Use npm to install hexo, with the command npm install -g hexo-cli.

❗️ Note: After installing hexo, do not run hexo init.

The files that need to be migrated are:

Blog configuration file ./_config.yml
Theme configuration folder ./theme/
Folder containing articles and related content ./source/
Template folder ./scaffolds/
File recording all plugins for the blog ./package.json

Redeploy on New Computer#

Do you remember the ./package.json you copied in the previous step? Just run the following command in the same directory:

npm install

This will automatically read the list of plugins recorded in the package.json file and install them one by one, so all the plugins you installed on the old device will be set up on the new device as well.

Everything else proceeds as usual: modify articles, generate static files, and deploy to git.
