Checkout nkd.cc

NKD just works. Start developing your prototype in jekyll without any of the boring setup.

• Modular file structure, easy to extend or get rid of existing code.
• Mobile friendly responsive type scale
• A light-weight SCSS base that starts with Normalize.css - 1.2KB minified / 214B gzipped.
• Thoroughly commented code (Easy to get going if it's your first jekyll project)
• Two media queries for tablet and desktop size screens. Lends itself to mobile-first design.

• Create a new repo for your project on Github
• In terminal run

    git clone [email protected]:mrmrs/nkd.git [yourNewRepoName]
    cd [yourNewRepoName]
    rm -rf .git
    git init
    git remote add origin [email protected]:[yourUserName]/[yourNewRepoName].git
    git remote -v

• git remote -v will allow you to check that you have changed the remote origin correctly. The output should look like:

    origin [email protected]:[yourUserName]/[yourNewRepoName].git (fetch)
    origin  [email protected]:[yourUserName]/[yourNewRepoName].git (push)

• Once you add & commit files you are ready to publish run:

git push -u origin master

  cd nkd
  npm install -g gulp
  npm install .
  gem install foreman
  foreman start

Then open a new terminal tab and run

gulp

Now go to http://localhost:4000 and see Hello World.

What this did:

• Started up jekyll in a way that will automatically rebuild your site as you work
• Started up a SASS command that will automatically rebuild your CSS as you work + reload the browser everytime you save a file.

Run this to minify images, css, and svg assets.

gulp production

Run this to delete the _site directory. Use if you don't want to keep generated site locally unless actively developing or if you want to force jekyll to rebuild everything from scratch (sometimes can solve weird issues)

rake clean

There is an included Adobe Illustrator file that has artboards for every favicon size you'll need. If you're into that sort of thing. There are premade favicons you will want to replace or remove reference to.
