Personal homepage, GitHub style

Zopatista's personal site

My personal site, stripped down to something I'll actually maintain.

The projects folder only exists to support legacy URLs; the contents redirect to pypi mostly, except for the python distribution files, for which proper redirects would otherwise be too cumbersome to support.

Setup

Install rbenv from homebrew, activate it, and install a supported Ruby version, from the rbenv local pin file:

$ brew install rbenv
$ rbenv init
$ rbenv install -s $(cat .ruby-version)

You'll need to add rbenv to .zshrc.

I should periodically update the ruby version used to follow GitHub.

Once the ruby environment has been set up, make sure bundler is installed:

$ gem install bundler

then install all dependencies

$ bundle install

For more info, see the GitHub pages documentation.

The local bin/ directory contains binstubs for the requisite gems, and there's a direnv .envrc file in the root that adds that directory to your PATH when entering this directory. Please tell direnv to allow this to work with:

$ direnv allow .

Running locally

Keep the local toolchain up-to-date with:

$ bundle update

Run a local server to preview posts with:

$ rake serve

If you don't use direnv and have given direnv permission to run the local .envrc settings, then use bin/rake, so bundle dependencies can be found.

Theme setup

I am using Minimal Mistakes as the theme.

• The style is customised purely in _config.yml.
• The jekyll-redirect-to redirect.html layout was customised to add Google analytics.

Link integrity checking

I've set up htmlproofer to check for link rot, run periodically with:

$ rake test
