## Installing
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Follow the [Jekyll Docs](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/) to complete the installtion of basic environment (Ruby, RubyGem, Bundler and Jekyll). In order to use the script tools to save time, we also need to install [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/)(version 3.5 or abover) and [ruamel.yaml](https://pypi.org/project/ruamel.yaml/).
|
|
|
|
In addition, if your machine is running Debian or macOS, make sure you have the [GNU coreutils](https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/) installed. Otherwise, get it by:
|
|
|
|
* Debian
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ sudo apt-get install coreutils
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* macOS
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ brew install coreutils
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Jekyll Plugins
|
|
|
|
[Fork **Chirpy** from GitHub](https://github.com/cotes2020/jekyll-theme-chirpy/fork), then clone your forked repo to local:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ git clone git@github.com:USER/jekyll-theme-chirpy.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
replace the `USER` above to your GitHub username.
|
|
|
|
The first time you run or build the project on your machine, perform the installation of Jekyll plugins. Go to the root of repo and run:
|
|
|
|
```terminal
|
|
$ bundle install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`bundle` will automatically install all the dependent Jekyll Plugins that listed in the `Gemfile`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Directory Structure
|
|
|
|
The main files and related brief introductions are listed below.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
jekyll-theme-chirpy/

|
|

|
|

|
|
├── .travis.yml # remove this, too
|
|
├── .github # remove it
|
|
├── assets
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
As mentioned above, some files or directories should be removed from your repo:
|
|
|
|
- .travis.yml
|
|
- .github
|
|
- _scripts/travis
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Customization
|
|
|
|
Basically, go to `_config.yml` and customize the variables as needed, some of them are typical options:
|
|
|
|
* Avatar
|
|
|
|
`avatar` defines the source image location. The sample image is `/assets/img/sample/avatar.jpg`. It should be replaced by your own one. Notice that a huge image file will increase the load time of your site, so keep your avatar size as samll as possible(may be *<https://tinypng.com/>* will help).
|
|
|
|
* TimeZone
|
|
|
|
To ensure that the posts' release date matches the city you live in, please modify the field `timezone` correctly. A list of all available values can be found on [TimezoneConverter](http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/findzone/findzone) or [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Run Locally
|
|
|
|
You may want to preview the site before publishing, so just run the script tool:
|
|
|
|
```terminal
|
|
$ bash tools/run.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Open a modern brower and visit at <http://localhost:4000>.
|
|
|
|
Few days later, you may find that the file modification(e.g. edits to a post) does not refresh in real time by using `run.sh`. Don't worry, the advanced option `-r` (or `--realtime`) will solve this problem, but it requires [**fswatch**](http://emcrisostomo.github.io/fswatch/) to be installed on your machine. Type `-h` for more information.
|
|
|
|
### Deploying to GitHub Pages
|
|
|
|
Before the deployment begins, ensure the `url` in file `_config.yml` has been set to `https://<username>.github.io`(or the custom domain, if you have. e.g. `https://yourdomain.com`). What's more, if you prefer to the [Project site](https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/about-github-pages#types-of-github-pages-sites), change `baseurl` of file `_config.yml` to your project name, starting with a slash. e.g. `/project`.
|
|
|
|
#### Option 1: Built by GitHub Pages
|
|
|
|
By deploying the site in this way, you're allowed to push the source code directly to the remote.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**: If you want to use any third-party Jekyll plugins that not in [this list](https://pages.github.com/versions/), stop reading the current approach and go to [*Option 2: Build locally*](#option-2-build-locally).
|
|
|
|
**1**. Rename the repository to:
|
|
|
|
|Site Type | Repo's Name|
|
|
|:---|:---|
|
|
|User or Organization | `<username>.github.io`|
|
|
|Project| any one except `<username>.github.io`, let's say `project`|
|
|
|
|
**2**. Commit the changes of the repo first, then run the initialization script:
|
|
|
|
```terminal
|
|
$ bash tools/init.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
>**Note**: The *Recent Update* requires the posts' latest git-log date, so make sure the changes in `_posts` have been committed before running this command.
|
|
|
|
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 repo.
|
|
|
|
**4**. Check it out:
|
|
|
|
|Site Type | Site URL |
|
|
|:---|:---|
|
|
|User or Organization | `https://<username>.github.io/`|
|
|
|Project| `https://<username>.github.io/project/`|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Option 2: Build Locally
|
|
|
|
For security reasons, GitHub Pages runs on `safe` mode, which means the third-party Jekyll plugins or custom scripts won't work. If you want to use any another plugins that not in the [whitelist](https://pages.github.com/versions/), **you have to generate the site locally rather than on GitHub Pages**.
|
|
|
|
**1**. Browse to GitHub website, create a brand new repo named:
|
|
|
|
|Site Type | Repo's Name|
|
|
|:---|:---|
|
|
|User or Organization | `<username>.github.io`|
|
|
|Project| any one except `<username>.github.io`, let's say `project`|
|
|
|
|
and clone it.
|
|
|
|
**2**. In the root of the source project, build your site by:
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
$ bash tools/build.sh -d /path/to/local/project/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The generated static files will be placed in the root of `/path/to/local/project`. Commit and push the changes to the `master` branch on GitHub.
|
|
|
|
**3**. Go to GitHub website and enable Pages service for the new repository.
|
|
|
|
**4**. Visit at:
|
|
|
|
|Site Type | Site URL |
|
|
|:---|:---|
|
|
|User or Organization | `https://<username>.github.io/`|
|
|
|Project| `https://<username>.github.io/project/`|
|
|
|
|
and enjoy!
