## Preparation
|
|
|
|
First of all, follow the [Jekyll Docs](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/) to complete the installtion of basic environment (Ruby, RubyGem, Bundler and Jekyll). In addition, to use the funny script tools, we also need to install [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/)(version 3.5 or abover), [ruamel.yaml](https://pypi.org/project/ruamel.yaml/) and [fswatch](http://emcrisostomo.github.io/fswatch/getting.html).
|
|
|
|
Next, [fork Chirpy](https://github.com/cotes2020/jekyll-theme-chirpy/fork) and then clone the replicated repository locally.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install Jekyll plugins
|
|
|
|
Go to root directory of the repository and run the following:
|
|
|
|
```terminal
|
|
$ bundle install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`bundle` will install all the dependent Jekyll Plugins listed in file `Gemfile` automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
Customize the variables in file `_config.yml` as needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Atom Feed
|
|
|
|
The Atom feed url of your site will be:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<SITE_URL>/feed.xml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `SITE_URL` was defined by variable `url` in file `_config.yml`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Run locally
|
|
|
|
You may want to preview the site before publishing, so just run the script tool:
|
|
|
|
```terminal
|
|
$ bash run.sh
|
|
```
|
|
>**Note**: Because the *Recent Update* required the latest git-log date of posts, so make sure the changes of `_posts` have been committed before running this command.
|
|
|
|
Open a brower and visit <http://127.0.0.1:4000>
|
|
|
|
## Deploying to GitHub Pages
|
|
|
|
Before the deployment begins, rename your project as `<username>.github.io` and ensure the `url` in `_config.yml` has been set to `https://<username>.github.io`.
|
|
|
|
### Option 1: Built by GitHub Pages
|
|
|
|
By deploying your site in this way, you can push the source code to GitHub repository directly.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**: If you want to add any third-party Jekyll plugins or custom scripts to your project, please refer to [*Option 2: Build locally*](#option-2-build-locally).
|
|
|
|
**1**. Rename your repository as `<username>.github.io`.
|
|
|
|
**2**. Commit the changes of your repository, then run the initialization script:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ bash init.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will automatically generates the *Latest Modified Date* and *Categories / Tags* page for the posts.
|
|
|
|
**3**. Push the changes to `origin/master` then go to GitHub website and enable GitHub Pages service for the repository `<username>.github.io`.
|
|
|
|
**4**. Visit `https://<username>.github.io` and enjoy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Option 2: Build locally
|
|
|
|
For security reasons, GitHub Pages runs on `safe` mode, which means the third-party Jekyll plugins or custom scripts will not work. If you want to use any another third-party Jekyll plugins, **your have to build locally rather than on GitHub Pages**.
|
|
|
|
**1**. On GitHub website, create a brand new repository with name `<username>.github.io`, then clone it locally.
|
|
|
|
**2**. Build your site by:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ bash build.sh -d /path/to/<username>.github.io/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The build results will be stored in the root directory of `<username>.github.io` and don't forget to push the changes of `<username>.github.io` to branch `master` on GitHub.
|
|
|
|
**3**. Go to GitHub website and enable GitHub Pages service for the new repository `<username>.github.io`.
|
|
|
|
**4**. Visit `https://<username>.github.io` and enjoy.
