Jekyll Usage

Install

On Fedora36, the simplest way is run dnf install rubygem-jekyll, and do NOT run 'gem install jekyll'. dnf will install jekyll into /usr/local/bin, and gem install into /usr/bin and doesn't works well.

On Ubuntu, 'gem install jekyll' works well.

Use Jekyll

• create blog folder: jekyll new blog-name
• build and start server: cd blog-name ; jekyll serve which same as gitbook.
• only build: jekyll build or jekyll build -s . -d /var/www/html/blog
  • change baseurl in _config.yml before push into http server.

Use post-receive hook

Used on my web server, to automatically push to github and update web pages.

Others

创建单独的页面，在根目录或者任何文件夹里面创建markdown文件或者html文件即可。 markdown文件需要在文件头给出layout: page 才能生成。还想查看一下jekyll到底有那些内置layout，也没找到，以后再研究吧。

更新About页面时发现一个有用的图标生成网站：https://icon-sets.iconify.design/logos/jekyll/， 我用它生成了jekyll的图标，且可以设置图标大小。
