Creating a Jekyll App on Heroku Cedar (from GitHub)

Setup Jekyll

The first thing you have to do is 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 serve

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

heroku create --stack cedar

Deploy!

git push heroku master

Test it:

heroku open

Creating a Jekyll App on Heroku Cedar (Manually)

Setup Jekyll

The first thing you have to do is 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 serve

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

Create a Gemfile and add:

source :rubygems

gem 'RedCloth'
gem 'jekyll'

Create the Gemfile.lock

bundle install

Create a Procfile

echo "web:    jekyll serve -P $PORT" > Procfile

Exclude all of those files

echo "exclude:  [ Gemfile, Gemfile.lock, Procfile, vendor]" >> _config.yml

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

echo _site >> .gitignore

Create a git repo and commit

git init .
git add .
git commit

Create a Heroku app

heroku create --stack cedar

Deploy!

git push heroku master

Test it:

heroku open
