# 🦄 Ultimate Jekyll
**Ultimate Jekyll** is a template that helps you jumpstart your Jekyll sites and is fueled by an intuitive incorporation of npm, gulp, and is fully SEO optimized and blazingly fast. You can sync this **Template** repo with your copy of the project to get all the updates!
[Site](https://template.itwcreativeworks.com) | [NPM Module](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ultimate-jekyll) | [GitHub Repo](https://github.com/itw-creative-works/ultimate-jekyll)
# 🚀 Getting started
Before getting started, be sure you are using **Node.js** `v10` (higher versions may not work).
1. [Create a repo](https://github.com/itw-creative-works/ultimate-jekyll/generate) from the **Ultimate Jekyll** template.
2. Rename the `template` branch to `master`.
3. In the repo's settings add a secret called `GH_TOKEN` and paste a GitHub token that has write permissions for this repo.
4. Clone the repo to your local machine with the [GitHub Desktop app](https://desktop.github.com/).
5. Run `npm run template:setup` in Terminal to setup the template.
6. Run `npm start` in Terminal to launch the website locally.
# 📦 How to sync with the template
1. Simply run `npm run template:update` in Terminal to get all the latest updates from the **Ultimate Jekyll template**.
# 🌎 Publishing your website
1. Change the `url` in `_config.yml` to your domain.
2. Push your changes to GitHub using `npm run dist` in Terminal.
# 💈 How to properly use the template
This repo will only ever receive changes to files located in `master` folders. You can safely customize any file in `app` folders. For example:
* You should **NOT** edit: `assets/_src/js/master/main.js`
* You should edit: `assets/_src/js/app/app.js`
You can always run `npm run template:update` to get all the latest updates from the **Ultimate Jekyll template** but be sure to check if there were any breaking changes.
# 🔒 Run a local https server
1. Execute:
* `npm run create:cert`
* `npm run prototype:https`
2. Press cmd + option + i on the webpage that opens.
3. Go to **Security** tab and press **Show certificate**.
4. Drag the certificate to your Desktop then double-click it
5. Double-click it when it has opened in keychain
6. Open the **trust** dropdown and change it to **always trust**
