Jekyll Basics is a simple boilerplate for Jekyll websites with a few (opinionated) best practices in mind:

• Multilingual support,
• Proper config with ,
• SASS styling with egg (a SASS micro-framework),

Install & Run

1. Make sure you have Ruby 2.1.0 or higher installed:

    ruby --version
   

2. Install the github-pages gem;

    gem install github-pages
   

If that doesn't work for you, try the GitHub help.

3. Run the site:

    make serve
   

   Then go to http://localhost:4000. This will overload the Jekyll configuration (_config.yml) with the dev settings (_config-dev.yml) and make sure it uses the increment build option.

   For more details, see the Makefile.

CMS

Jekyll Basics comes with Jekyll+ set up by default.

If you're on GitHub pages, you should be able to show the edit button by appending ?jekyllplus=true to the URL. For example: https://wiredcraft.github.io/jekyll-basics/?jekyllplus=true

If needed, you can set it up manually at the end of the _config.yml file by setting up the jekyllplus variable:

jekyllplus: Wiredcraft/jekyll-basics/master
