Personal website

Install Jekyll

Jekyll is a Ruby Gem that can be installed on most systems.

1. Install a full Ruby development environment
2. Install Jekyll and bundler gems

   gem install jekyll bundler

3. Change into your new directory

   cd personal-website

4. Install missing gems

   bundle install

5. Build the site and make it available on a local server

   bundle exec jekyll serve

You should see something like:

Configuration file: /octocat/personal-website/_config.yml
            Source: /octocat/personal-website
       Destination: /octocat/_site
 Incremental build: disabled. Enable with --incremental
      Generating...
   GitHub Metadata: No GitHub API authentication could be found. Some fields may be missing or have incorrect data.
                    done in 14.729 seconds.
 Auto-regeneration: enabled for '/octocat/personal-website'
    Server address: http://127.0.0.1:4000
  Server running... press ctrl-c to stop.

Don't worry about the "No GitHub API authentication could be found" message. API authentication is only necessary if you intend to display more detailed metadata, like a branch name.

6. Now browse to http://localhost:4000
