For more about how to use Jekyll, check out this tutorial.
Assuming you have Ruby and Bundler installed on your system, first fork the theme to github.com:<your-username>/<your-repo-name> and do the following:
$ git clone [email protected]:<your-username>/<your-repo-name>.git
$ cd <your-repo-name>
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec jekyll serve- Launch the site by running this command, which will host the website on http://localhost:4000/. Run this command after every
_config.ymlupdate.
bundle exec jekyll serve --watch
- Go to
_config.ymland update the properties:
- Your first name in
first_name - Your last name in
last_name - Your personnel number in
ku_leuven_personnel_numberto link up your publications (number AFTER the u) - The courses you teach and have taught under
teaching - Your social media profiles that you would like to link
-

_pages/about.mdand fill in your own biography to display. -

assets/img/prof_pic.jpgto a picture of yourself (file name updatable in_pages/about.md) -
Create your projects by copying and editing the content of the
_projects folder -
If you prefer a different theme color, go to
_sass/_variables.scssand change$theme-color: $blue;to any color defined above this line.
For more advanced info, see the original al-folio template.
After you are done, commit your final changes. Now, you can deploy your website to GitHub Pages by running the deploy script:
$ ./bin/deploy [--user]By default, the script uses the master branch for the source code and deploys the webpage to gh-pages.
The optional flag --user tells it to deploy to master and use source for the source code instead.
Using master for deployment is a convention for user and organization pages.
The theme is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License.
