Kickster provides a basic Jekyll project setup packed with web best practises and useful optimization tools increasing your overall project quality. Kickster ships with automated and worry-free deployment scripts for GitHub Pages.
Install the gem:
gem install kickster
Execute gem and scaffold Kickster files:
kickster new site_name
Setup your environment:
cd site_name
bin/setup
Run Jekyll:
bundle exec jekyll serve
Used tools:
- Autoprefixer
- Bower
- Circle CI
- Html-proofer
- Jekyll
- Jekyll assets
- Jekyll Sitemap
- HTML5 Boilerplate (Influenced by)
If you do not want the Kickster setup but just the deploy scripts then copy them from the bin
folder.
Run this in the root project folder in your console:
bin/deploy
Don't forget to enable your repository on Circle CI and update the _config.yml
file!
Automated deployment is by default not included in your Kickster generated Jekyll project. Please follow the steps below to include automated deployment.
Note that changes will only deploy when your code is merged into master.
Copy the automated script inside the /bin
folder of your project (make sure the file has execute permissions!).
Replace your circle.yml
file with this one. And adjust the following 2 lines with your information:
- USER_NAME: <your-github-username>
- USER_EMAIL: <your-github-email>
Make sure you enabled your repository on Circle CI. In Circle CI go to Project settings > Checkout SSH Keys
and create a new User key. This is required to push to the GitHub repo from a script (permissions).
That's it, start pushing changes and enjoy your automated deployments from now on!
