I’ll try to start using Jekyll + Github pages for simplicity. Manage a server takes too much time. With Jekyll, I’ll be able to have a small technical blog without taking my time which I barely manage now.
I only have to understand now how to automatize this posts metadata. Probably will be easier than maintaining a whole system like I did with Ghost.
Following below the original “Welcome to Jekyll!” post. That’s All!
You’ll find this post in your _posts directory. Go ahead and edit it and re-build the site to see your changes. You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run jekyll serve, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated.
To add new posts, simply add a file in the _posts directory that follows the convention YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.ext and includes the necessary front matter. Take a look at the source for this post to get an idea about how it works.
Jekyll also offers powerful support for code snippets:
def print_hi(name)
puts "Hi, #{name}"
end
print_hi('Tom')
#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.Check out the Jekyll docs for more info on how to get the most out of Jekyll. File all bugs/feature requests at Jekyll’s GitHub repo. If you have questions, you can ask them on Jekyll Talk.
