# Jekyll Template | ||
# Jekyll | ||
|
||
This is a template project for jekyll that you can clone and customise to suit your needs. Its quite opinionated in what it provides, the idea is to get you up and running with feed support, analytics and comments and feedback. This is meant for a standalone blog, not for [github pages](http://pages.github.com/) | ||
This is the Jekyll source for [Jordan Christensen's blog](http://www.thebigjc.org). You might want to clone this, or go there. | ||
|
||
Please don't fork otherwise I'll see lots of noise on the fork queue that are your customisation for your blog. I suggest you create a repo on github (public or private, its up to you) and do the following assuming the new repo is available at `https://github.com/username/reponame`: | ||
|
||
git clone https://github.com/krisb/jekyll-template.git mysite | ||
cd mysite | ||
rm -rf .git | ||
git init | ||
git add -A | ||
git commit -m 'initial template based on https://github.com/krisb/jekyll-template' | ||
git remote add origin [email protected]:username/reponame.git | ||
git push -u origin master | ||
|
||
The following sections detail how to set up and use the template. The commands are known to work on my macbook, YRMV. | ||
|
||
## Ruby 1.9.2 via RVM | ||
|
||
I recommend that you install [rvm](http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/) and set everything up using that. For single user install run the following: | ||
|
||
bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head ) | ||
|
||
Follow the instructions, adding the necessary lines in `.bashrc`, e.g. | ||
|
||
# RVM | ||
if [[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] ; then | ||
source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" | ||
fi | ||
|
||
Now source `.bashrc` (you don't need to do this normally as it runs on login, it is just to update the current term window) | ||
|
||
source ~/.bashrc | ||
|
||
You can then install and use ruby 1.9.2: | ||
|
||
rvm install 1.9.2 | ||
rvm use 1.9.2 | ||
|
||
## Gems | ||
|
||
Run the following to install the necessary gems: | ||
|
||
gem install jekyll rdiscount compass | ||
|
||
## Markup | ||
|
||
I prefer markdown, but you can use a number of supported markup formats. | ||
|
||
## Pygments (code highlighting) | ||
|
||
Assuming you have python installed with `easy_install` available: | ||
|
||
sudo easy_install Pygments | ||
|
||
## Stylesheets | ||
|
||
I recommend that you use [compass](http://compass-style.org/). I've included `_sass/mixins/_syntax.scss` for the pygments syntax highlighting. | ||
|
||
## Rake deploy task | ||
|
||
The following tasks are available (use `rake -T` to list them): | ||
|
||
rake build # Build site with Jekyll | ||
rake check_links # Check links for site already running on localhost:4000 | ||
rake clean # Clean up generated site | ||
rake deploy # Build and deploy | ||
rake server # Start server with --auto | ||
|
||
The deploy task is simplistic and uses rsync to copy the generated site to your server. You will need to replace the username, servername and path as appropriate. | ||
|
||
## Configuration | ||
|
||
There are a number of values in `_config.yml` to customise your site. Change as appropriate. | ||
|
||
The following enhancements are baked in and enabled if you provide the configuration required. | ||
|
||
* [Google Analytics](http://www.google.com/analytics) - web analytics using the [async](http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=174090) script | ||
* [Disqus](http://disqus.com/) - comments and feedback | ||
* [Feedburner](http://feedburner.google.com/) - rss feeds | ||
