Jekyllpress

A Thor script that provides several actions to help support and use a Jekyll site.

Installation

$ gem install jekyllpress

Usage

Setting Up Templates

If you don't have templates specified in your _config.yml file or in your source folder, you can create them with the setup action:

$ jekyllpress setup
Configuration file: /Volumes/muis1t/Projects/rubystuff/jekyll/test_jekyll_2.1/_config.yml
      create  _templates
      create  _templates/new_post.markdown
      create  _templates/new_page.markdown

You can edit the markdown templates to your heart's delight. :)

New Post

Creating a new post is done with:

$ jekyllpress new_post 'This is my new post!!' --categories=new really --tags=so what
Configuration file: /Volumes/muis1t/Projects/rubystuff/jekyll/test_jekyll_2.1/_config.yml
      create  _posts/2014-07-28-this-is-my-new-post.markdown

This creates a new file in _posts with the current date stamp, and contents as:

---
layout: post
title: This is my new post!!
date: 2014-07-28 01:15
categories: ["new", "really"]
tags: ["so", "what"]
---

New Page

Creating a new page is just as simple:

$ jekyllpress new_page "Some Page" --location=pages
Configuration file: /Volumes/muis1t/Projects/rubystuff/jekyll/test_jekyll_2.1/_config.yml
      create  pages/some-page/index.markdown

The content is:

---
layout: page
title: Some Page
date: 2014-07-28 01:17
---

Redirects

The redirect command helps to create redirect links in a post's front matter in a way that can be used by the jekyll-redirect-from gem.
