About The Project

I write down my random thoughts and publish them - somehow it helps me calm down when I feel stressed sometimes. The content is hosted through Netlify CMS.

Built With

• Gatsby.js
• Netlify CMS
• React
• Netlify

Getting Started

Here is a guide if you want to clone my website and modify it for yourself, all the way to deployment.

Prerequisites

• yarn
• git

Installation

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/AjayLiu/blog.git

2. Install packages

   yarn

3. Publish your site to Netlify using continuous git integration.

4. Enable the 'Identity' feature throught Netlify's dashboard.

5. Set Registration to 'Invite Only'.

6. Enter your own email to invite yourself as admin to your blog (and confirm the email).

7. I recommend enabling External Providers: Google and Github (allows you to login using those).

   NOTE: using Login with Google / Login with Github might not work on your development server but will work in deployment. (because it tries to redirect you from your localhost:8000 to the actual site).

8. Make sure Git Gateway is properly set up to link up your repository.

Development

To run the development server

yarn start

then head over to localhost:8000.

Adding New Entries

1. Go to your-website.com/admin and login using your credentials. Then you will be able to write new blog posts.
