Got some killer app, some neat project, a cool portfolio? Make an easy single-page site to show it all off. SinglePaged uses jekyll niceties to make a polished, modular, and beautiful single page site.

• Each vertical section is a markdown file in _posts/ directory.
  • They're sorted by 'date'. (we don't use date anywhere, it only sorts)
• Each vertical section sets it's own color, header icon (or image), title, and easy-to-write markdown body.
• Only two things to edit:
  1. Edit _config.yml to set the site title, description, etc
  2. Add _posts/*.md to make each vertical section. Copy some examples and add the sections from your README.md for a fast start!
• Easy adding of SEO terms, favicon & such, and google analytics token.

Sound good? Let's go!

There are three way to get started: (links jump to that section)

1. Make a user homepage (or organization)
2. Make a standalone project page
3. Make a site under an existing project

• Go click fork on the github project page
• Rename your new repository to **username**.github.io. (click settings in the right column)
• Clone your repository, cd into the project
• Run git checkout publish && git branch -m master && git push -u origin master && git branch -D gh-pages to get the publish branch as master for a clean, empty starting point.
• On your github project page go to settings again and change your default branch to master
• Run git push origin --delete gh-pages to delete your remote's development branch

Now hop over to Usage to get it running with your own stuff!

When you publish changes use git push -u origin master

• Go click fork on the github project page
• Rename your new repository to whatever you want. (click settings in the right column)
  • It will go live at yourusername.github.io/WhateverYouWant
• Clone your repository, cd into the project
• Run git checkout publish && git branch -D gh-pages && git branch -m gh-pages && git push -uf origin gh-pages to swap the publish and gh-pages branch.

Now hop over to Usage to get it running with your own stuff!

When you publish changes use git push -u origin gh-pages

This is the most complicated use-case .. but it's the coolest. Say you've got your kickass project github.com/t413/kicker and want to have some web presence to post about on hacker news. This will create an orphan branch called gh_pages in your repository where you can publish changes, posts, images, and such. It won't alter your code at all.

• cd into your project on the command line
• use git remote add -t publish singlepage [email protected]:t413/SinglePaged.git to get access to this repository.
• use git fetch singlepage publish:gh-pages to fetch the remote branch
• use git branch --set-upstream gh-pages singlepage/publish && git checkout gh-pages; This creates and checks out an orphan branch called gh-pages that tracks the original and lets you make changes.
• When you run git push gh-pages:origin/gh-pages it'll be live at yourusername.github.io/repositoryName

Now hop over to Usage to get it running with your own stuff!

When you publish changes use git push -u origin gh-pages

Alright, you've got a clean copy and are ready to push some schmancy pages for the world to ogle at.

• Edit _config.yml to change your title, keywords, and description.
• Create a new file in _posts/ called 2014-01-01-intro.md Edit it, and add:

  ---
  title: "home"
  bg: white     #defined in _config.yml, can use html color like '#010101'
  color: black  #text color
  style: center
  ---

  # Example headline!
  and so on..

• Create a second post called 2014-01-02-art.md with an divider image this time:

  ---
  title: "Art"
  bg: turquoise  #defined in _config.yml, can use html color like '#0fbfcf'
  color: white   #text color
  fa-icon: paint-brush
  ---

  #### A new section- oh the humanity!

Note: That part fa-icon: paint-brush will use a font-awesome icon of paint-brush. You can use any icon from this font-awesome icon directory.

• install Jekyll with sudo gem install github-pages
• run jekyll serve -w
  • visit localhost:4000 to see a live locally served preview.
• Push changes and see them live!

• In each post file you can define bg: mycolor and color: myothercolor to change the background and text colors for that section.
• mycolor can be a quoted html color like '#0fbfcf' or a key to a special color defined in _config.yml under 'colors'.
  • Note: Changes to _config.yml require a manual restart to your local server with ^C and jekyll serve -w.

Nifty, right!

So you've got a copy running and there's some new update? Let's update!

1. Checkout your github-pages branch

• git checkout gh-pages for a standalone or existing page
• git checkout master for a username.github.io page

2. run git remote | grep -q "singlepage" || git remote add -t publish singlepage https://github.com/t413/SinglePaged.git to be sure you have access to this repository (you can run this command at any time).
3. git fetch singlepage to fetch-in-place new changes.
4. Update to the new base (using merge)
   1. git merge singlepage/publish
5. You can alternatively update using rebase. This rewrites history (bad), but it is cleaner.
   1. git rebase singlepage/publish
