March, 2016: If you're on an old version of Jekyll Now and run into a) build warnings or b) syntax highlighting issues caused by Jekyll 3 and GitHub Pages updates, just ✨update your _config.yml✨ and you'll be set!

The official Jekyll version of the Clean Blog theme by Start Bootstrap.
<<<<<<< HEAD
=======
- You don't need to touch the command line
- You don't need to install/configure ruby, rvm/rbenv, ruby gems
☺️ - You don't need to install runtime dependencies like markdown processors, Pygments, etc
- If you're on Windows, this will make setting up Jekyll a lot easier
- It's easy to try out, you can just delete your forked repository if you don't like it

In the _config.yml file, the base URL is set to /startbootstrap-clean-blog-jekyll which is this themes gh-pages preview. It's recommended that you remove the base URL before working with this theme locally!
It should look like this:
baseurl: ""
A full Jekyll environment is included with this theme. If you have Jekyll installed, simply run jekyll serve in your command line and preview the build in your browser. You can use jekyll serve --watch to watch for changes in the source files as well.
A Grunt environment is also included. There are a number of tasks it performs like minification of the JavaScript, compiling of the LESS files, adding banners to keep the Apache 2.0 license intact, and watching for changes. Run the grunt default task by entering grunt into your command line which will build the files. You can use grunt watch if you are working on the JavaScript or the LESS.
You can run jekyll serve --watch and grunt watch at the same time to watch for changes and then build them all at once.
<<<<<<< HEAD Visit Clean Blog's template overview page on Start Bootstrap at http://startbootstrap.com/template-overviews/clean-blog/ and leave a comment, email [email protected], or open an issue here on GitHub for support.
Enter your site name, description, avatar and many other options by editing the _config.yml file. You can easily turn on Google Analytics tracking, Disqus commenting and social icons here too.
Making a change to _config.yml (or any file in your repository) will force GitHub Pages to rebuild your site with jekyll. Your rebuilt site will be viewable a few seconds later at http://yourgithubusername.github.io - if not, give it ten minutes as GitHub suggests and it'll appear soon
There are 3 different ways that you can make changes to your blog's files:
- Edit files within your new username.github.io repository in the browser at GitHub.com (shown below).
- Use a third party GitHub content editor, like Prose by Development Seed. It's optimized for use with Jekyll making markdown editing, writing drafts, and uploading images really easy.
- Clone down your repository and make updates locally, then push them to your GitHub repository.
Edit /_posts/2014-3-3-Hello-World.md to publish your first blog post. This Markdown Cheatsheet might come in handy.
You can add additional posts in the browser on GitHub.com too! Just hit the + icon in
/_posts/to create new content. Just make sure to include the front-matter block at the top of each new blog post and make sure the post's filename is in this format: year-month-day-title.md
- Install Jekyll and plug-ins in one fell swoop.
gem install github-pagesThis mirrors the plug-ins used by GitHub Pages on your local machine including Jekyll, Sass, etc. - Clone down your fork
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/yourusername.github.io.git - Serve the site and watch for markup/sass changes
jekyll serve - View your website at http://127.0.0.1:4000/
- Commit any changes and push everything to the master branch of your GitHub user repository. GitHub Pages will then rebuild and serve your website.

You can use the Quick Start workflow with other themes that are set up to be forked too! Here are some of my favorites:

- Solarized Light Pygments - Thanks, Edward.
- Joel Glovier - Great Jekyll articles. I used Joel's feed.xml in this repository.
- David Furnes, Jon Uy, Luke Patton - Thanks for the design/code reviews.
- Bart Kiers, Florian Simon, Henry Stanley, Hun Jae Lee, Javier Cejudo, Peter Etelej, Ben Abbott, Ray Nicholus, Erin Grand, Léo Colombaro, Dean Attali, Clayton Errington, Colton Fitzgerald, Trace Mayer - Thanks for your fantastic contributions to the project!
Issues and Pull Requests are greatly appreciated. If you've never contributed to an open source project before I'm more than happy to walk you through how to create a pull request.
You can start by opening an issue describing the problem that you're looking to resolve and we'll go from there.
I want to keep Jekyll Now as minimal as possible. Every line of code should be one that's useful to 90% of the people using it. Please bear that in mind when submitting feature requests. If it's not something that most people will use, it probably won't get merged. 💂♂️
