Moonwalk Template

I personally use the Moonwalk Jekyll theme by abhinavs a lot, so this is a GitHub template that you can use to quickly create a Moonwalk website.

Find other GitHub template repos here!

Getting Started

GitHub Pages

• Click the Use this template button on the top of this repo
• Wait a couple of minutes for the GitHub Actions workflow to finish running
• Go to Settings and enable GitHub Pages to deploy from the gh-pages branch
• Your site should be up and running!

Local Development

• Fork this repo
• Make sure Jekyll and Ruby are up-to-date
• Run bundle install to install all necessary gems
• Run bundle exec jekyll serve
• Your development site should be up and running!

Customization

Download an asset from the internet

You can edit the /.github/workflows/download.yml file to routinely download an asset file from the internet before deploying your site.

• Uncomment the push workflow trigger (three lines)
• To download from a server other than GitHub, edit the url within the quotations on the curl "..." -o ./assets/{SOMETHING}.md line, replacing {SOMETHING}.md with a file path of your choice
• To download from GitHub, replace {USER} with a GitHub username, {REPO} with a GitHub repo, and {SOMETHING}.md} with a file path such as README.md or assets/asset.png, also replacing ./assets/{SOMETHING}.md with a file path of your choice
