Setting up Github Pages with Jekyll

This is a quick summary to build Github Pages with Jekyll Theme on Windows

1. RubyInstaller

1-1. If you don´t have Ruby installed, install Ruby with Development Kit

https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads

You can install Jekyll using gem since Ruby is installed

On Ruby Command Prompt,

$ jekyll -v

3. Adding a Jekyll theme to your GitHub Pages

There are many ways to add a Jekyll theme to your repository. In my case, I downloaded Jekyll theme(Clean-Blog) and copied it to my repository.

3-1. Create Jekyll on local directory

$ jekyll new [GithubUsername].github.io

Enter the directory you have just made.

$ cd [GithubUsername]

There are few more steps left, but publish the blog locally to see if it works well.

$ bundle exec jekyll serve

The site should be up and running on local host:

http://127.0.0.1:4000/

3-2. Download or Clone a Jekyll Theme.

3-3. Copied files to your repository.

3-4. Edit _config.yml. For example,

baseurl:            
url:   "https://hskim2019.github.io"

4. Host a website on Github

4-1. Create a repository named [GithubUsername].github.io

4-2. Push your changes to your remote repository on GitHub.
