GitHub Pages as blog Combo

GitHub Pages as blog Combo

Right now, I only know one website that allows me to host HTML as full webpage that supports static JavaScript, that is GitHub Pages, which might not be truly static, if you have some good API supported in the background, e.g. Disqus, or Heroku.

However, it seems that many kinds of CSS/JavaScript on GitHub Pages might not always loaded if it conflicts with Jekyll, or for some other reasons (as I described in Cogear.js; SCSS-generated CSS just doesn't load.)

So, how do I ensure it will load? Install Ruby and Jekyll on your computer; and test-drive.

# Make sure Ruby is installed first, though
gem install bundler jekyll
gem install bundler jekyll
jekyll new my-awesome-site
cd my-awesome-site
jekyll serve

But, even with this, many features are still disabled… Checkout your theme, can be enabled with

cd $(bundle show minima)
cat README.md

And read the README.md. If that isn't enough, read Jekyll Docs.
