This is my approach to a simple personal website to primarily show blog entries, hosted by GitHub. I started from scratch, reusing some structural parts of my previous website. Have not used jekyll before and found the two examples from Huxpro and daattali very helpful while learning it.

Development

Local setup on WSL

• sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev

• gem install bundler jekyll

• bundle install

Local setup in Ubuntu terminal with rbenv

• sudo apt-get remove ruby ruby-dev

• sudo apt install rbenv

• rbenv init and reopen terminal

• rbenv install -l and choose wanted version

• rbenv local [the version you chose in the step above]

• gem install bundler jekyll

• bundle install

To run the site locally

bundle exec jekyll serve --trace will provide the page at localhost:4000.
