Start a github pages website powered by Jekyll using Foundation/SCSS in under 5 minutes!
Ever wanted a simple but nice looking responsive website as your project page or page for your repo? Are you in a hackathon needing to put up a working website in minutes? I do. Here is what I do, and I am sharing for you to use it, free. Free as in free speech AND free beer.
You can see the working example site here
- Fork or copy this repo to your user or project
- From the
settings
rename the repo tousername.github.io
naming scheme. (For this you need to usemaster
branch)
- Create a
gh-pages
branch, i.e.git checkout -b gh-pages
- Download the contents of this repo
- Replace the entire branch contents with unzipped stuff
- Add, Commit then Publish the branch to github, i.e.
git push --set-upstream origin gh-pages
- edit
_config.yml
- edit html/md files (
_layouts/default.html
is the base) - edit sass and run
gulp
(Try editingscss/_stettings.scss
) - edit
_include/nav.html

If you don't have it, install node.js. Easiest way it to use Homebrew by
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
then
brew install node
and install npm and gulp globally by running
sudo npm install npm bower gulp -g
Run gulp to compile css from sass by simply run gulp
or npm start
from your terminal within your repo.
It will launch watch by default. control-c
to stop. If you only want the css compiled once, run gulp sass
To run jekyll locally to test your website while developing, run bundle install
then bundle exec jekyll serve --watch
(Requires ruby *) Your website should be viewable by going to localhost:4000
Github's doc on how to use Jekyll on Github Pages is also helpful.
