Serve GitHub Jekyll locally

Guess, we want to debug a GitHub website locally. Therefore I installed Jekyll for Windows.

About How to install Ruby on Windows is topic of another post.

Add a Gemfile to repository

We need some Ruby gems locally. We add a Gemfile with the following content:

# file: ./Gemfile

source "https://rubygems.org"

gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins

Then we run bundle install.

Now we receive a bunch of gems, including the build-in themes for GitHub pages.

Add a branch to repository

Because I want to check everything locally before pushing to origin/master I created a seperate branch serveLocally.

Command to build the local GitHub page

• checkout serveLocally branch

bundle exec jekyll serve

I can reach the GitHub page locally at localhost:4000.

Whats next

Next step is switching back to master branch, merge the serveLocally and push to GitHub.

Check your Activity log on Github. It should be found like so:

https://github.com/<YourAccount>/<YourAccount>.github.io/deployments

My first post!

This is the first post to check the functionality of Jekyll blog mechanism.

I hope I will understand it ;-)

Hello World!

The title of this post is set using page.title as shown here

## {{ page.title }}

Writing about code id pretty easy.
Highlight some code or a complete codeblock like the following:

highlight inline code like so: `code` 

Use lexer inside a codeblock to get the code coloured output

```csharp
// your code goes here
```

will look this way:

// lexer: csharp  <- add comment

using System;
namespace M2vH{
    class Me{
        string name = "Marco M. von Hagen";
    }
}

Example of lexers.html.XmlLexer and XAML

<!-- lexer: xml -->
