Github Pages

This is how I used Pelican to create a static website to host a personal page on Github.

Pelican

A quick overview of the instructions or instructions are:

pip install typogrify
pip install Markdown
pip install pelican
mkdir project
cd project
pelican-quickstart

Plugins

The plugins are a submodule of my git repo:

git submodule add https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins

Workflow

1. Edit rst files
2. To preview everything before pushing do: make html
3. Then look in www
4. If everything is fine, then push to github and travis-ci will automagically build/publish the website
