I’m excited to share that I’ve just created my blog and published my first post. You can start your own blog too! Here’s a quick guide to get you started.

Getting Started

You can easily create your own blog by cloning the Starter repository and customizing it to fit your needs. Most of the configurations are managed in the _config.yml file. To add a new post, simply create a markdown file in the _posts directory that following this naming convention: YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.md.

Local Developement

Before publishing your blog, you might want to test it locally. Follow these steps to configure local environment:

  1. Clone the repository
    git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/<your-github-username>.github.io.git
    
  2. Install Ruby if not alreday done
  3. Install Github pages
    gem install github-pages
    
  4. Serve the site and watch for markup/sass changes
    bundle exec jekyll serve
    
  5. Open your browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:4000/ to view your site locally
