1. **Octopress sports a clean responsive theme** written in semantic HTML5, focused on readability and friendliness toward mobile devices.
|
||
2. **Code blogging is easy and beautiful.** Embed code (with [Solarized](http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized) styling) in your posts from gists or from your filesystem.
|
||
3. **Third party integration is simple** with built-in support for Twitter, Pinboard, Delicious, Disqus Comments, and Google Analytics.
|
||
4. **It's easy to use.** A collection of rake tasks simplifies development and makes deploying a cinch.
|
||
5. **Get curated plugins.** Plugins are hand selected from the Jekyll community then tested and improved.
|
||
|
||
## Get Setup
|
||
|
||
[Fork Octopress](https://github.com/imathis/octopress), then open the console and follow along.
|
||
|
||
git clone (your repo url)
|
||
|
||
# Optionally add a branch for pulling in Octopress updates
|
||
git remote add octopress git://github.com/imathis/octopress.git
|
||
|
||
Setup an [RVM](http://beginrescueend.com/) and install dependencies.
|
||
|
||
source .rvmrc
|
||
bundle install
|
||
|
||
# Install pygments (for syntax highlighing)
|
||
sudo easy_install pip
|
||
sudo pip install pygments
|
||
|
||
# Install the default Octopress theme
|
||
rake install
|
||
|
||
### Write A Post
|
||
|
||
rake post['hello world']
|
||
|
||
This will create a new post named something like `2011-06-17-hello-world.markdown` in the `source/_posts` directory.
|
||
Open that file in your favorite text editor and you'll see a block of [yaml front matter](https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/yaml-front-matter)
|
||
which tells Jekyll how to processes posts and pages.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
title: Hello World
|
||
date: 2011-06-17 14:34
|
||
layout: post
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
Octopress adds some custom paramaters to give you more publishing flexibility and you can [read about those here](#include_link),
|
||
but for now. Go ahead and type up a sample post or use some [inspired filler](http://baconipsum.com/).
|
||
|
||
{% pullquote %}
|
||
When writing longform posts, I find it helpful to include pullquotes, which help those scanning a post discern whether or not a post is helpful.
|
||
It is important to note, {" pullquotes are merely visual in presentation and should not appear twice in the text. "} That is why it is prefered
|
||
to use a CSS only technique for styling pullquotes.
|
||
{% endpullquote %}
|
||
|
||
## Generate Your Blog
|
||
|
||
rake preview
|
||
|
||
This will generate your blog, watch your `sass` and `source` directories for changes regenerating automatically, and mount Jekyll's built in webbrick server. Open your browser to `http://localhost:4000` and check it out.
|
||
|
||
If you'd rather use [POW](http://pow.cx) to serve up your site, you can do this instead.
|
||
|
||
cd ~/.pow
|
||
ln -s /path/to/octopress
|
||
|
||
#Then generate your site
|
||
rake watch
|
||
|
||
`rake watch` does the same thing as `rake preview` except it doesn't mount Jekyll's webbrick server.
|
||
|
||
### Configure Octopress
|
||
|
||
Octopress keeps configurations in two places, the `Rakefile` and the `_config.yml`.
|
||
|
||
In the `rakefile` you'll want to set up your deployment configurations.
|
||
|
||
## -- Rsync Deploy config -- ##
|
||
# Be sure your public key is listed in your server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file
|
||
ssh_user = "mathisweb@imathis.com"
|
||
document_root = "~/dev.octopress.org/"
|
||
|
||
## -- Git deploy config -- ##
|
||
source_branch = "source" # this compiles to your deploy branch
|
||
deploy_branch = "master" # For user/organization pages, use "master" for project pages use "gh-pages"
|
||
|
||
If you want to deploy with github pages, read [http://pages.github.com](http://pages.github.com) for guidance.
|
||
