Might be a little off-topic but hopefully relevant enough. I'm rather new to web dev but currently have a static website hosted on AWS S3. My current workflow is to code the HTML and CSS files using Sublime Text then upload these files into a bucket manually via the AWS console. Is there a more efficient way to do this? And is there a simple way to enable HTTPS?
If you have multiple HTML pages, using a templating engine saves a lot of copy/pasting when you change headers, menus etc. (in the article they're using Hugo).
You can automate the uploading of files by writing a script to upload the files to the bucket so you can deploy in a single command (it gets trickier if you want to do a sync and delete files).
Personally I use rake [0] to create build and deploy tasks so I can do `rake build` and `rake deploy:prod`.
