Jekyll website boilerplate with multilingual support.

Primary LanguageCSS

Jekyll Basics is a simple boilerplate for Jekyll websites with a few (opinionated) best practices in mind:

  • Multilingual support,
  • Proper config with ,
  • SASS styling with egg (a SASS micro-framework),

Install & Run

  1. Make sure you have Ruby 2.1.0 or higher installed:

     ruby --version

  2. Install the github-pages gem;

     gem install github-pages

If that doesn't work for you, try the GitHub help.

  1. Run the site:

     make serve

    Then go to http://localhost:4000. This will overload the Jekyll configuration (_config.yml) with the dev settings (_config-dev.yml) and make sure it uses the increment build option.

    For more details, see the Makefile.

CMS

Jekyll Basics comes with Jekyll+ set up by default.

If you're on GitHub pages, you should be able to show the edit button by appending ?jekyllplus=true to the URL. For example: https://wiredcraft.github.io/jekyll-basics/?jekyllplus=true

If needed, you can set it up manually at the end of the _config.yml file by setting up the jekyllplus variable:

jekyllplus: Wiredcraft/jekyll-basics/master
