Getting Started with Jekyll and Github Pages
Raw
getting-started.md

Here're a bunch of links to solid resources on how to make your first Github Pages/Jekyll project:

Tools:

  • Hosting: Github Pages
  • Editing/Version Control/Branching: Github Flow
  • Static Site Generator: Jekyll
  • Content Format: YAML (stands for Yet Another Markup Language)
  • Content Sytax: Markdown
  • Template Syntax: Liquid
  • HTML & CSS — there are lots of resources online and in print for learning the basics: Codecademy, Kahn Academy, etc.

Documentation links:

A good repository to fork:

(Note: you'll have to create a gh-pages branch on your fork to get Github to interpret the repository as a website, and you'll have to account for the project site baseurl bug, as discussed in Jekyll's Github Pages docs — happy hacking!)
