The Coding bear blog is my place to document the stuff I learn. Currently it is based on Jekyll, Cayman theme and hosted on GitHub Pages. Mainly because it was one of the simplest and cleanest looking themes I could find. Thanks @jasonlong for creating it!.
Some important configuration can be done in the file _config.yml. Please, check the Setup section in that file.
baseurl parameter is required in the case the site doesn't sit on the root of the domain. For example: http://pietromenna.github.io/jekyll-cayman-theme
In the case above the baseurl should be set to "/jekyll-cayman-theme".
In the case the site sits in the root, you can leave baseurl as empty "".
To set up your environment to develop this theme, run bundle install.
You theme is setup just like a normal Jelyll site! To test your theme, run bundle exec jekyll serve and open your browser at http://localhost:4000. This starts a Jekyll server using your theme. Add pages, documents, data, etc. like normal to test your theme's contents. As you make modifications to your theme and to your content, your site will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh, just like normal.
