Built the site with travis-ci (with goodies from jekyll-travis) automatically pushing the generated HTML files to a gh-pages branch. This later approach is the one I am currently using to generate the live demo.

For this option you will need to set up travis-ci for your personal fork. Briefly all you need then is to change your details in _config.yml so that you can push to your github repo. You will also need to generate a github personal access token via travis encrypt to add to your .travis.yml

travis encrypt GH_TOKEN=<token>

Also make sure you read the documentation from jekyll-travis. This approach has clear advantages in that you simply push your file changes to GitHub and all the HTML files are generated for you and pushed to gh-pages. Also you get to know if everything is still fine with your site builds. Don't hesitate to contact me if you still have any issues (see below about issue tracking).

In order to properly generate author pages you need to rename the field author in the front matter of every post to match that of your each author's username as defined in the _data/authors.yml file. With the latest update, multiple author blogs are now supported out of the box.

Following on the way Casper styles are compiled as described here:

Jasper2 styles are compiled using Gulp/PostCSS to polyfill future CSS spec. You'll need Node and Gulp installed globally. After that, from the theme's root directory:

$ npm install
$ gulp

Now you can edit /assets/css/ files, which will be compiled to /assets/built/ automatically.

This install builds well with Ruby v2.5.1 and Jekyll v3.7.4. If you run into any problems please log them on the issue tracker.

Feel free pull-request your patches and fixes.

Many thanks to the Ghost team for all the design work. Also many thanks to all contributors, that help keeping the project alive and updated 😄
