FoundationJekyll

This is a Jekyll template using the SASS version of Foundation 5. You can use this as your starting point for creating a site with or without a blog using the powerful Jekyll static site generator and the Zurb Foundation framework. Contributions to this project are welcome. Feel free to fork, copy or share this.

Requirements

You will need to have the following installed:

  • Ruby 1.9+
  • Git
  • NodeJS
  • Jekyll ruby gem
  • SASS ruby gem
  • Compass ruby gem

I've written guides on setting up Foundation and Jekyll:

Quickstart

Grab Project

git clone https://github.com/eric2025/FoundationJekyll.git
cd FoundationJekyll

Compile SASS (monitor for changes and auto-compile)

compass watch

Compile Jekyll site (monitor for changes and regenerate)

jekyll serve --baseurl '' --watch

You can run both compass and jekyll at the same time in seperate terminals to auto compile your changes. Depending how you host your Jekyll page, you may need to adjust or remove the "baseurl" option in "_config.yml". For example, if you host your page as your main GitHub page with either your own domain or http://username.github.io, you should remove the "baseurl" option and the baseurl tags in the pages. If you are hosting a project page (http://username.github.io/projectname), you need to configure the "baseurl" option to your project name. See the documentation here: http://jekyllrb.com/docs/github-pages/
