Purpletual Blog Theme

Based on Jekyll Starter Tailwind.

A starter kit for using Tailwind with Jekyll that includes:

• A Jekyll blog theme

• A Gulpfile that does the following:

  • Compiles Tailwind
  • Strips out unused CSS using Tailwind's purge option
  • Runs Autoprefixer
  • Minifies your CSS
  • Compiles Jekyll
  • Runs Browsersync for local development

Requirements

• Bundler
• Jekyll
• Node.js
• npm
• Ruby

Get started

• bundle install to install Ruby gems
• npm ci to install npm packages listed in package-lock.json
• Set index.html layout to home and create your posts in the _posts directory
• npm run start or npm run dev to compile the site with development settings and run BrowserSync

Build your site

• npm run build:dev to compile the site with development settings
• npm run build:production or npm run build to compile the site for production

Deploy

You can deploy your site to netlify.

Note: By default, Netlify uses jekyll build as the build command. The included netlify.toml file will override it to use npm run build.
