One of the best things I found on the internet. Basically I was browsing my twitter feed and some random person said “you need to have a personal website. Use this webinar to make it with jekyll.” At this point of time I already had this webpage with my CV. But I realized that I can’t really have nice things like navigation bar or side bar or any other bar in my website.
I even had hard time putting the images in. This was all because my reluctance to install jekyll and rubygems on my computer. I was using github site directly in my browser. So I took a look at this video. It finally looked easy and doable. So I decided to give it another shot.
I used the following commands:
First download ruby+devkit from here. Follow the instructions.
ruby -v
gem install bundler
gem install jekyll
jekyll -v
Then make a directory and open “Mingw64” github stuff.
jekyll new myblog
cd myblog
bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve
Last two commands will be used all the time.
I was able to edit and make pages all along by following these links:
GitHub repo: https://github.com/laurburke2/laurbur…)
Finally following are the commands for the git.
git remote add origin
https://<PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>@github.com/<username>/<username>.github.io.git
git add .
git commit -m "Initial Commit"
git remote -v
git push origin master
My final webpage looks like this
