Welcome to Jekyll!

October 2, 2017

You’ll find this post in your _posts directory. Go ahead and edit it and re-build the site to see your changes. You can rebui ld the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run jekyll serve, which launches a web server and auto-rege nerates your site when a file is updated.

To add new posts, simply add a file in the _posts directory that follows the convention YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.ext and inc ludes the necessary front matter. Take a look at the source for this post to get an idea about how it works.

Jekyll also offers powerful support for code snippets:

                                                                              
def print_hi(name)                                                                                  
  puts "Hi, #{name}"                              
end                                                                                       
print_hi('Tom')                                                                
#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.
