Jekyll Site Template

This Jekyll development setup uses Grunt for task management. Browsersync is used to create the site preview during local development instead of jekyll serve.

In a default Jekyll setup, Sass/SCSS files are built along with HTML files during the jekyll build task. In this setup, I use grunt-sass to build CSS files so the grunt watch task can generate new CSS and HTML files independently from one another.

I use the zen sorting method to organize my stylesheets. The JSON file used by Grunt that I've included in this setup is borrowed from the PostCSS Sorting predefined configs.

Instructions

For local development, run grunt ws in terminal run an initial build, begin browserSync and start the watch task. Run grunt buildDev to build the site for local development without running Browsersync or watch. Use grunt build or just grunt to generate production-ready files.

This template is a work in progress. I will be updating it as my development process evolves.
