:new_moon: this is the Jekyll theme used for @alternatyves portfolio site

To check the Jekyll theme minus content, go to: Theme demo

Features

• Image index start page
• Blog
• jekyll-archives to build and sort through categories & tags pages
• RSS/Atom feed
• SEO tags
• Microdata markup
• Jekyll livereload + NPM for fast development
• Built-in site search (does not work with GitHub Pages)

Get Started

Install Jekyll

git clone git://github.com/YJPL/alternate.git
cd alternate
(npm install tachyons)
npm start

That should do the trick. Add your site and author details in _config.yml. Get a workflow going to see your site's output with Jekyll locally using Jekyll commands or Gulp.

Then open another tab in terminal and run

bundle exec jekyll serve --watch

This will build the site.

This sets up a Jekyll server for dev on port 4000. The site is regenerated every time you save a file. NOTE: Changing _config.yml will require a restart of the Jekyll server to see changes.

To restart server, go to terminal tab that server is running in then press

ctrl+C ⇧ enter then

To fire Jekyll with auto-regeneration, use:

npm run start

This runs a series of tasks: minifies CSS, images and Javascript.

This command builds the site locally on port 4000, with livereload so you can quickly revise design changes.

Responsive images

For a portfolio, this aspect is important. Resized images are served by the jekyll-picture-tag plugin to _site/images/generated

The site also use a custom ruby plugin that will replace Markdown images eg. ![description](image.jpg) with {% picture %} tag

It means that you no longer need to write special markup for responsive image such as {% picture image.jpg --alt alt text for image --title image title %}, and that, should you stop using the picture tag plugin, the site images would not break (assuming you keep the little img_tag_transform.rb ruby plugin in place, otherwise you’d need to write ![description](img/image.jpg) for the images to display.

Make sure there there is no space in image names!!!

Site Structure

In Terminal, CD alternate then run Tree to get a directory tree of the site files.

Notes

Blog posts are in alternate/_posts/ There are three layouts, one for posts, one for other pages, and one for long form articles. Layouts are stored in alternate/_layouts/ Folders that begin with an underscore are not copied over to _site. The home page has its own layout (root index.html file). Drafts are used for development & testing purpose.

Develop

Building front-end assets: styles and scripts

Install Node module dependencies:

npm install

Tachyons

You can change the site styling using Tachyons, look for the CSS in the sup-theme file, located in the src folder.

Tachyons is a CSS toolkit and design system based on using components. Please refer to Tachyons documentation, you can also start with https://github.com/dwyl/learn-tachyons

Once you are done with your style changes, run:

Run the npm run

build:css

That will process all your CSS files in one readable file located in assets/css/alt-tachyons.css.

to minify your css you can run

npm run minify-css

or

npm run start

to minify and build the site locally.

npm commands with browser reload

Supply uses a couple of custom Postcss npm scripts. Make sure your dependencies are installed: npm install. Type npm outdated to see if you have outdated versions, then install any outdated dependencies.

Once that is done, to build your site & concatenate your CSS (in assets -> CSS), simply run:

npm run start

This command builds the site locally on port 4000, you can quickly revise design changes thanks to livereload.

Editing

Posts

• Add, update, or remove a post in the Posts collection.
• Change the defaults when new posts are created in _posts/_defaults.md.

Collections

Read about collections in the Jekyll documentation.
