Why are you here? You should check out the running blog on dasian.github.io!

• Github Pages
• Jekyll

Github Pages allows me to host a static website for free on github.

Jekyll is a static site generator. I'm also using the chirpy theme

This section is just for taking notes setting this blog up on my systems

The github pages gem depends on a version of jekyll that isn't compatible with the chirpy theme. To solve this you can change the local ruby version you're using with RVM.

RVM needs to be run in a login shell (for some reason)

zsh -l

To check you can run

type rvm | head -n1

The output should be rvm is a shell function from ...

Now we can use the proper version of ruby

rvm use 3.3.1

To view posts before publishing run this in the root directory

bundle exec jekyll serve --watch --livereload --future

then visit localhost:4000

This will only work if the ruby version is correct. You shouldn't need to run bundle install again!

Typing commands manually is so 6 months ago! I made a script to start the server locally (it's one command)

./local-server.sh
