Vijaysankar's Blog (vijaynr.github.io)

A Personal Blogging website, built from Jekyll static template engine and hosted in Github pages

How to build?

Github takes care of most of the things automagically from small changes (edits), building jekyll, deploying and hosting it at vijaynr.github.io, but for some complex changes, we might need to setup a local enviroment to work with.

Prerequisites

• Install Ruby and Gem (Ruby's package manager), Check this Jekyll Install Guide.
• Install Jekyll and Bundler (using gem)
• Make sure the executables are in PATH
