Instructions on publishing a blog post

Edit /_posts/2018-11-3-update-1.md to publish a post.

Merging to 'master' will publish your updates to the site within a few minutes. Creating a new branch with a pull request is a way to get a review/confirmation of your content before publishing.

If you need to make a new file to make an additional post, hit the + icon in /_posts/ to create new content. Just make sure to include the front-matter block at the top of each new blog post and make sure the post's filename is in this format: year-month-day-update-#.md

This Markdown Cheatsheet will be useful for formatting your post. It is recommended you use a markdown editor to preview your content before publishing. https://stackedit.io for example, can also help with auto-filling in markdown syntax.

How this site works

We forked Jekyll Now to make this blog.

Jekyll is a static site generator that's perfect for GitHub hosted blogs (Jekyll Repository)

Local Development

  1. Install Jekyll and plug-ins in one fell swoop. gem install github-pages This mirrors the plug-ins used by GitHub Pages on your local machine including Jekyll, Sass, etc.
  2. Clone down your fork git clone https://github.com/yourusername/yourusername.github.io.git
  3. Serve the site and watch for markup/sass changes jekyll serve
  4. View your website at http://127.0.0.1:4000/
  5. Commit any changes and push everything to the master branch of your GitHub user repository. GitHub Pages will then rebuild and serve your website.
