This site uses Jekyll to build a static set of pages. Using it to add new pages and posts is fairly straightforward, but what follows is a quick start.
##Workflow A general overview:
- If you've got push rights on the repo, clone it and create a new branch for your work. If not, fork it and do the same.
- Create/change any content as you see fit
- Push to your branch on Github, and submit a pull request
- Someone with push rights on the repo reviews the request, starts a conversation about changes if necessary, and eventually pulls
- A Github web hook will take care of getting the changes reflected on the website
If you have questions about any of these steps, don't be afraid to ask!
###Create a new post There are two steps:
- Create a new file in
_posts
with the format<date>-<post title>.markdown
- Write the post
After that's done, you can generate your changes and serve them locally to
check them out: jekyll serve
. This starts a server on port 4000 by default.
You can use jekyll serve -w
to continually watch for changes as you code.
###Create a new page
The steps for creating a new page are similar to a new post. Create a new folder
to match what you want to see, e.g. /about/
for the URL ecsig.com/about/
, and
create an index.html
file in that folder. Look at existing pages for examples.
