Suggestion about guide

I have a suggestion about guide of Installation.

In the README.md, you guide people to 'git clone' the JSimple code to theme folder.
It works, but the problem is

  • when I git push my blog's source code to github, the JSimple folder in github will be empty. That means I can't backup my settings of theme to github.
  • Also If I git clone my blog's source code from github to a new PC, the JSimple folder will keep empty, and I can't generate it to html.

So my suggestion is in the README.md telling user to git submodule add to instead of git clone, let me know if you have better idea.

@longqzh Thanks for your suggestion.
As as workaround, you can try this plugin hexo-git-backup

@tangkunyin,
Thanks your suggestion.

I checked the git-backup you said, it just delete the .git in theme folder when it sync. So how do you git pull the upstream's update or git push to upstream without .git?

tangkunyin commented

@longqzh You can move the .git/ and .gitignore to another folder when you prepare to backup with git-back plugin.

When you want to update theme, just move what you moved before and git pull --rebase again....
