This MIT-licensed repository shares the generic Jekyll system behind the digital garden I publish at benjamn.dev.
All my personal content is hidden away in a private submodule repository in the _notes/vault directory. After forking this repository, please be aware you will not automatically have access to my personal content, which remains under strict copyright (all rights reserved).
To work around this intentional limitation, you will need to either get rid of the submodule by running git rm _notes/vault, or run git submodule set-url ... to use a different private (or public) repository of your own:
git submodule set-url _notes/vault https://github.com/your-github-username/your-vault.git
git submodule update --init --recursive
Either way, my content stays with me.
Follow this link to create the personal access token you will need for checking out the private _notes/vault submodule when publishing your public garden.
Maxime Vaillancourt wrote a tutorial called Setting up your own digital garden with Jekyll that caught my eye, and this repository was originally a fork of Vaillancourt's Jekyll template, which you can find running on Netlify for comparison.

The source code, structure, and configuration of this repository are released under the MIT license, just like the LICENSE of the original template.
