Awesome! :D

  My source materials live in one git repo, and my website in another.

I haven't yet got to ox-publish to work with ox-hugo, because of the unique
flow for subtree-based exports where we want to export only subtrees with a
specific property (EXPORT_FILE_NAME).

But I was finally able to achieve something like that using a Makefile [1]
+ Netlify (or GitHub Pages/Travis CI or GitLab CI).

A very recent example (few days) is how I helped set up the use-package
website publishing flow.

- ox-hugo + Hugo using Makefile + GitHub Pages.

You *only* need to commit the use-package.org[2] to the GitHub repo, and
https://jwiegley.github.io/use-package/ updates in a minute or so. The
Travis CI simply calls "make doc". That takes care of:
- Installing dependencies if needed on the CI machine
- Exporting Org to Markdown using ox-hugo
- Running hugo
- Commiting published HTML to the gh-pages branch
- And the site gets deployed, just like that :)

PS: I publish the ox-hugo package website[3] the same way too, but using
Netlify (/which is the better than GitHub Pages or Gitlab CI IMO -- free
too/). See the footer of that site for the 1-file Org source.
