This is the codebase for my personal blog at https://www.paulfioravanti.com. Created with Jekyll.

I have written about setting up various facets of this blog, which you can find at the following posts:

• Setting up a Jekyll Blog
• Build a CI/CD pipeline for your Jekyll site
• Flexbox Furigana

git clone [email protected]:paulfioravanti/paulfioravanti.github.io.git
cd paulfioravanti.github.io
bundle install

This app uses the following dependencies during development:

• Sass Lint: make sure styling syntax conforms to community standards. Note that the gem version is deprecated
• htmllint (via htmllint-cli): make sure HTML syntax conforms to community standards
• markdownlint (via markdownlint-cli): make sure Markdown syntax conforms to community standards
• HTMLProofer: make sure HTML rendered files are accurate and do not have broken links etc

Install Node-based dependencies in the following way, and remember to re-shim whatever version manager is being used for Node (I use asdf), or add the bin folder of the Node installation to the $PATH, otherwise executables like sass-lint won't be available:

npm install --global sass-lint htmllint-cli markdownlint-cli
asdf reshim nodejs

HTMLProofer is a Ruby gem and so Bundler will bring it into the project.

bundle exec jekyll serve --incremental --drafts --port 5000 --livereload

Then, navigate to http://localhost:5000

This project uses Guard to monitor file changes.

Start Guard with the following command:

bundle exec guard

This blog currently uses the Minimal Mistakes theme.

Previously, it used the Minima theme, as that seemed to be the theme that worked best out of the box with Jekyll 3.6, and was usable on Github Pages.

This blog is current deployed to Github Pages, but Github Pages tend to be slow at updating their Jekyll technical stack, and they only support a limited set of plugins.

So, I'm using Travis CI as both a test harness and a deployment pipeline to bypass the limitations of the Pages gem, and allow Jekyll to use the latest gems, as well as plugins not supported by Github's safe mode.

See my post Build a CI/CD pipeline for your Jekyll site for more information about how to get a Travis-Github Pages test/deploy pipeline working.
