Starting a blog
tl;dr?
We have recently put a GitHub Enterprise Server into operation. For administrative purposes, we have some workflows around the GitHub Enterprise Server. To gain more knowledge, I had to dive a little deeper into GitHub / GitHub Enterprise Server. During my learning experience, I stumbled upon the possibility to run blogs / website on GitHub. Below is a very simple description of how such a blog can be implemented using the Ruby web framework Jekyll.
Create appropriate repository
In your GitHub account create a repository named <github_username>.github.io
. If you push some Jekyll code into this repo, GitHub will render the site and it is available via the link http://<github_username}.github.io
, e.g. http://florianmaier101178.github.io
.
Installation of jekyll on ubuntu linux
Setup of blog
Run the blog locally
Minima theme
The blog is based on the minima theme.
I did some customizations of the footer and the main page. These adaptions are applied in the subdirectories _includes
and _layouts
of the repository. Both directories are copied from the minima code.
