This is the repo for my Github Pages-hosted blog, served on 0x74696d.com.
This Jekyll project is a fork from Up. The code of this blog and all code content is MIT licensed, except where a given piece of code is attributed to another author and has a more restrictive license. The original written prose and images in this repo are licensed under Creative Common Attribution 3.0 Unported License.
It should be easy to fork and modify this repo if you want, but it's going to be chock full of my personal idiosyncrasies. You can follow the installation directions below but I'd really encourage you to just to use Up(http://github.com/caarlos0/up) instead.
- Fork this repository
- Rename it to
YOUR-USER.github.com - Clone it:
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USER/YOUR-USER.github.com - Run the bundler to get the dependencies:
bundle - On OS X, installing rmagick may fail. For Snow Leopard, I had to do the following using
brew: brew update brew install imagemagick export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.0-10/lib/pkgconfig/:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/imagemagick/6.8.0-10/include/ImageMagick/ gem install rmagick
Run the jekyll server with rake preview.
You should have a server up and running locally at http://localhost:4000.
Next you'll want to change a few things. The list of files you may want to change is the following:
- _config.yml: Put your config there, almost everything will be up and running.
- me.html: Your about page.
- CNAME: To use a custom domain name on Github pages, change this to your domain.
First, be sure you have the author email configured in _config.yml,
then, just run: rake icons
The script will generate your email hash and get your gravatar, then, using RMagick, it will create all needed icons.
You should deploy with GitHub Pages- it's just easier.
All you should have to do is to rename your repository on GitHub to be
username.github.com. Since everything is on the gh-pages branch, you
should be able to see your new site at http://username.github.com.
