Installation

To install this repository, you may either self-host or use GitHub pages for hosting.

To self-host, first clone the repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/shawnduong/hello.xyz

Then, cd into the cloned repository and install the required gems:

$ cd ./hello.xyz/
$ bundle install

To use GitHub pages, simply fork the repository by clicking the "Fork" button at the top-right of the page and enable GitHub pages hosting in the forked repository's settings.

Setup

1. Fill in the basic information and contact information in _config.yml.
2. Go to _layouts/index.html and replace the sample quotes in the JavaScript with your own quotes.
3. Replace the sample text in about.md, contact.md, donate.md, index.md, learn.md, and projects.md with your own text.

Usage

To preview your website locally, you can serve the website with Jekyll:

$ jekyll serve

If you would like to create a complete build of your website, you can build the website with Jekyll:

$ jekyll build

In either case, _site/ is the root directory of the built website. If you're not using GitHub pages and are instead self-hosting, then the path to _site/ is where you want to set the website root directory from your web server's configuration file.

You can write courses in _learn, projects in _projects, and blog posts in _posts.
