Creating a Jekyll App with a Custom Jekyll Buildpack on Heroku Cedar (from GitHub)

===

Setup Jekyll

---

Install the jekyll gem

    gem install jekyll

Clone the git repository

---

    git clone [email protected]:markpundsack/jekyll-heroku.git

    cd jekyll-heroku

    

Let's test it locally

---

    jekyll --server --auto

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:4000.

You should see "Hello World".

Deploying to Heroku

---

Install the Heroku gem

    gem install heroku

Create a Heroku app using our custom buildpack

    heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack http://github.com/markpundsack/heroku-buildpack-jekyll.git

    

Deploy!

    git push heroku master

Test it:

    heroku open

Creating a Jekyll App with a Custom Jekyll Buildpack on Heroku Cedar (Manually)

=== 

Setup Jekyll

---

Install the jekyll gem.

    gem install jekyll

Create the site structure

---

Create the app directory

    mkdir jekyll-app

and create the following files:

    cd jekyll-app

    touch _config.yml

    touch index.html

    mkdir _posts

    mkdir _layouts

    touch _layouts/default.html

"Hello World" Jekyll

---

Let's create a Layout. Open _layouts/default.html and add:

    

    

      {{ content }}

    

    

Now we need an index page. Open index.html and add:

    ---

    layout: default

    title: Jekyll Example Site

    ---

    
Hello World


Let's test it locally:

    jekyll --server --auto

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:4000

You should see "Hello World"

Deploying to Heroku

---

First, install the Heroku gem

    gem install heroku

Since Cedar will run Jekyll and generate the _site files automatically, they don't need to be checked into git

    

    echo _site >> .gitignore

    

Create a git repo and commit

    git init .

    git add .

    git commit

Create a Heroku app using our custom buildpack

    heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack http://github.com/markpundsack/heroku-buildpack-jekyll.git

Deploy!

    git push heroku master

Test it:

    heroku open
