Using jekyll for github io page

In terminal:

If you have a new local github repo without any file added, do:

$ jekyll new ./

It installs all the default jekyll files in the directory.

To launch a local server:

$ jekyll serve

You can now view the site at http://127.0.0.1:4000/

To build the site and watch, do:

$ jekyll build --watch

Note: _config.yml does not seem to be reflected even if you modify the file while watch is running. Start from build once again.
