Local Development

  1. Install Jekyll and plug-ins in one fell swoop. gem install github-pages This mirrors the plug-ins used by GitHub Pages on your local machine including Jekyll, Sass, etc.
  2. Clone down your fork git clone git@github.com:yourusername/yourusername.github.io.git
  3. Serve the site and watch for markup/sass changes jekyll serve --drafts
  4. View your website at http://0.0.0.0:4000
  5. Commit any changes and push everything to the master branch of your GitHub user repository. GitHub Pages will then rebuild and serve your website.
