Introduction

This is the repo for my blogs. I am using Jekyll for blogging. Earlier, I was using Wordpress, but then, the hosting used to be a real hassle, and I was looking for something very simple. So I switched over to Jekyll, recently. I used their great plugins to import my Wordpress Site into Jekyll.

Quick Start

Building

bundle exec jekyll serve

Now, browse to http://localhost:4000

For live loading, you can use the below command

bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload

Setting Up Custom Theme

I am using the theme called jekyll-theme-clean-blog.

This is how to configure this, sample repo: https://github.com/StartBootstrap/startbootstrap-clean-blog-jekyll/blob/master/Gemfile. I have followed this and setup my theme.

Code Syntax Highlighter

After lot of search, I have downloaded the CSS for syntax-highlighter from here https://github.com/jwarby/jekyll-pygments-themes/tree/master.

Then, in the _include\head.html, I have manually included the below line:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/emacs.css">

Implementing Search

I followed the below blog: https://blog.webjeda.com/instant-jekyll-search/
