Creating a Jekyll App with a Custom Jekyll Buildpack on Heroku Cedar (from GitHub)

Setup Jekyll

Install the jekyll gem

gem install jekyll

Clone the git repository

git clone [email protected]:markpundsack/jekyll-heroku.git
cd jekyll-heroku

Let's test it locally

jekyll --server --auto

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:4000.

You should see "Hello World".

Deploying to Heroku

Install the Heroku gem

gem install heroku

Create a Heroku app using our custom buildpack

heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack http://github.com/markpundsack/heroku-buildpack-jekyll.git

Deploy!

git push heroku master

Test it:

heroku open

Creating a Jekyll App with a Custom Jekyll Buildpack on Heroku Cedar (Manually)

Setup Jekyll

Install the jekyll gem.

gem install jekyll

Create the site structure

Create the app directory

mkdir jekyll-app

and create the following files:

cd jekyll-app
touch _config.yml
touch index.html
mkdir _posts
mkdir _layouts
touch _layouts/default.html

"Hello World" Jekyll

Let's create a Layout. Open _layouts/default.html and add:

<html>
<body>
  {{ content }}
</body>
</html>

Now we need an index page. Open index.html and add:

---
layout: default
title: Jekyll Example Site
---

<h1>Hello World</h1>

Let's test it locally:

jekyll --server --auto

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:4000

You should see "Hello World"

Deploying to Heroku

First, install the Heroku gem

gem install heroku

Since Cedar will run Jekyll and generate the _site files automatically, they don't need to be checked into git

echo _site >> .gitignore

Create a git repo and commit

git init .
git add .
git commit

Create a Heroku app using our custom buildpack

heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack http://github.com/markpundsack/heroku-buildpack-jekyll.git

Deploy!

git push heroku master

Test it:

heroku open
