To host this website locally, follow these steps
Clone this repository:
git clone [email protected]:ShefESH/SeshWebsite.git
Install Ruby:
Skip this step if you have it already. Tested with Ruby Version 2.6.2
sudo apt-get install ruby-full
Install Jekyll:
Skip this step if you have it already. Tested with Jekyll Version 4.1.1
gem install bundler jekyll
Navigate to website folder:
cd SeshWebsite
Launch Server:
bundle exec jekyll serve
The serve command builds the site automatically. You can build it manually without serving the site by running
bundle exec jekyll build
If bundler is set up correctly, you should be able to omit 'bundle exec' from these commands
Serve Alias
To run the above with one command, add the following alias to your .bashrc (or equivalent)
alias serve='cd /path/to/SeshWebsite; jekyll build; jekyll serve'
Navigate to site in browser
Site is hosted at the following address by default - Jekyll will tell you if this is different when you run jekyll serve
http://localhost:4000
_site and jekyll-cache directories are excluded by gitignore - these will be generated locally when running jekyll serve
Pages are stored in the top level of the shefesh-site/shefesh-site directory, and can be written in either HTML or Markdown
Content to be included in pages. Similar to partials in Rails
Include the HTML/Markdown content in a HTML/Markdown page using {% include filename.extension %}
Liquid page templates. Can contain liquid logic as well as objects
Layouts specify the general template of the page, and can be reused. The {{ content }} liquid variable refers to the content of the top-level page (e.g. index.html)
Use a layout in a top-level page by referencing it in the front matter e.g.
---
layout: default
---
Content for blog posts

Other stylesheets in the _sass folder can be imported into here e.g. by
@import "main";
Stylesheets for site, to be imported into assets/css/main.scss
Use double curly brackets {{ }} to reference variables
Write Ruby code contained in brackets as so {% %}
