Jekyll-Ansible-Vagrant Starter Pack

Description

This is a starter pack for quickly developing a new Jekyll project locally with Vagrant, which is then easily deployed with Github Pages. It is based on a stock Ubuntu 14.04 base image, and uses Ansible to install and configure the basic services you'll need:

• Ruby 2.2 & Bundler
• Github-Pages gem (this includes Jekyll)
• Node.js (Jekyll requirement)

Features

• fully self-contained, installs Ansible within the VM
• develop with local Jekyll server, then deploy to Github Pages
• update Github Pages dependencies with vagrant provision
