Jekyll Starter

Starting point for Jekyll sites using Tailwind CSS and Alpine.js.

Getting Started

Then to build and serve the dev site, run

npm start

What's Included

This is not a Jekyll theme. It's a starting point to create a website using Jekyll, Tailwind CSS, and Alpine.js. The layout includes almost nothing, allowing you to start building right away instead of having to remove code you won't use.

If you want to start creating posts and pages, we've included the Jekyll::Compose plugin.

bundle exec jekyll page "My New Page"
bundle exec jekyll post "My New Post"

Deploying

Includes configuration for deploying to Netlify and GitHub Pages (via GitHub Actions).
