Deploy Gulp Yeoman webapp to Amazon S3

Deploy Jekyll with Mina
This blog is running on CentOS 7 server of DigitalOcean. The webserver is Nginx. The blog system I am using is Jekyll. To make the deployment smooth and fast I use Mina. The philosophy behind Mina is the same as Capistrano’s, but with less features and configuration.
