This is the source code repository for my personal blog, a simple static site built using Jekyll and hosted on GitHub pages.

Install

First install Bundler:

gem install bundler

Site dependencies can then be installed using:

bundle install --path vendor/bundle

Finally install dev dependencies from npm:

npm install

Run

To compile the static site run:

gulp site:build

To start a local server:

bundle exec jekyll serve

Test

Once the static site has been generated you can then validate the HTML and all site links by running:

bundle exec htmlproofer ./_site --url-ignore /feed/ --check-html --check-favicon --only-4xx --assume-extension --disable-external

Deploy

To automatically build and deploy the static site to the gh-pages branch:

gulp deploy
