livkndt.github.io

This is the code for my personal website, built using Jekyll and deployed to Github Pages.

Requirements

• Ruby v2.5.0 or higher (ruby -v)
  • On Mac OS, recommended to use a different version of ruby than the default install - see chruby and https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/macos/
• RubyGems (gem -v)
• GCC and Make (check versions using gcc -v,g++ -v, and make -v)
• Jekyll (gem install jekyll)

Installation

$ bundle install
$ bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload

Since Jekyll is a static site generator, it has to build the site before we can view it. Run either of the following commands to build your site:

• jekyll build - Builds the site and outputs a static site to a directory called _site.

• jekyll serve - Does jekyll build and runs it on a local web server at http://localhost:4000, rebuilding the site any time you make a change.

Modifying Content

There are currently two places to add dynamic content:

1. Positions (/_positions)
   • For adding new positions to the list of experience.
2. Posts (/_posts)
   • For adding new blog posts
   • Draft blog posts can be added under (/_drafts), use bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload --drafts

Development

This project currently uses a modified version of the minima theme that comes out of the box with Jekyll. All the Sass files live under /_sass.

Templates for pages are found under _layouts and related partials under _includes.
