To launch the website, click here.
1.) Open a terminal
2.) Create the directory ~/projects
mkdir ~/projects
3.) cd into c:\projects
cd ~/projects
4.) Clone the Github Blog repo to your local machine with the “git clone [Repo Name]” command.
git clone https://github.com/Tsmith5151/Blog.git
Or the original source code can be cloned using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/PanosSakkos/personal-jekyll-theme.git
5.) cd into the repo that you just cloned
cd Blog
6.) Make sure that you have a GemFile with no file extension in the root of your repo with the following contents. Just to note, Github Pages supports very few jekyll plugins (i.e. jekyll-redirect-from).
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'github-pages'
gem 'jekyll-redirect-from'7.) From the Blog directory, run the following command to install gems listed in the Gemfile.
bundle install
8.) Now we should have jekyll installed and we can test it out. In the terminal and in your blog repo directory, run the following command to tell jekyll to build and run the web site locally:
jekyll serve
Or you can build and serve your website by simply runningg:
./scripts/serve-production
