- in terminal, navigate to the repo directory.
- jekyll serve --watch --baseurl='' (the baseurl option is empty on purpose)
- open browser and go to http://localhost:4000/
- do not edit any files in _site
- you can have files in the main dir (todays-benefits.html) or directories to make pretty urls (/todays-benefits/index.html)
- URL set up static files & navigation like this so the urls are correct on production & local http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14322329/site-root-github-pages-vs-jekyll-server
- In the _config.yml file, add the variable baseurl (without trailing slash):
baseurl: "http://user.github.io/project-name"
- In the layouts or pages, use absolute references, using the site.baseurl variable:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ site.baseurl }}/css/styles.css">
Then, run the local server (the baseurl option is empty on purpose):
jekyll serve --watch --baseurl=''
