## Requirements

- This project only works until Node v11-

## Basic Setup

1. [Install Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com)
2. Fork the [Will Jekyll Template](https://github.com/willianjusten/will-jekyll-template/fork)
3. Clone the repo you just forked.
4. Edit `_config.yml` to personalize your site.
5. Check out the sample posts in `_posts` to see examples for assigning categories and tags, and other YAML data.
6. Edit [this line in the search component](https://github.com/willianjusten/will-jekyll-template/blob/gh-pages/src/js/simpleJekyllSearch.js#L4) to point to your own url.
7. Read the documentation below for further customization pointers and documentation.
8. **Remember to compile your assets files using Gulp!**

## Site and User Settings

You have to fill some informations on `_config.yml` to customize your site.

```
# Site settings
description: A blog about lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
baseurl: "" # the subpath of your site, e.g. /blog/
url: "http://localhost:3000" # the base hostname & protocol for your site

# User settings
username: Lorem Ipsum
user_description: Anon Developer at Lorem Ipsum Dolor
user_title: Anon Developer
email: [email protected]
twitter_username: lorem_ipsum
github_username: lorem_ipsum
gplus_username: lorem_ipsum
disqus_username: lorem_ipsum
```

**Don't forget to change your baseurl before build your site!**

## Color customization

All color variables are in `src/styl/variable`. To change the main color, just set the new value at `main` assignment. Another colors are for texts and the code background color.

## Creating posts

You can use the `initpost.sh` to create your new posts. Just follow the command:

```
./initpost.sh -c Post Title
```

The new file will be created at `_posts` with this format `date-title.md`.

## Front-matter

When you create a new post, you need to fill the post information in the front-matter, follow this example:

```
---
layout: post
title: "How to use"
date: 2015-08-03 03:32:44
image: '/assets/img/post-image.png'
description: 'First steps to use this template'
tags:
- jekyll
- template
categories:
- I love Jekyll
twitter_text: 'How to install and use this template'
---
```

## Running the blog in local

In order to compile the assets and run Jekyll on local you need to follow those steps:

- Install [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/)
- Run `npm install`
- Run `gulp`
