After the successful install of Ruby, GH-Pages, and Jekll, I went on to create a clone of my branch that appears under our username/fall2013 on github.com. I went ahead and did this earlier in the week and made my first post under the _posts folder.
I then wanted to put that file in a newly created folder with my username.
This was already after I had done an initial git clone. I went through and created a folder
for my posts and then created a new post within that folder. I then did a
git pull
to update it from the origin. I created the folder via the github website
although I do understand how to create folders and files via the cl.
Once the clone is complete, you should see a fall2013 folder when you
type the command ls. You should then change into that directory by using cd fall2013 and see a copy of your fall2013 folder from
gitub.com.
Typing nano thenameofyourpost.md will allow you to edit the file within
a command line text editor. Typing control + O writes out the file and now
we need to use git to make the magic happen.
- First we need to type
git add thenameofyourpost.mdto add the file unless it was already created and had previously been committed - Then we need to commit by typing ```git commit -m "enter a commit message"
- The last step is to push your post to the github site. We do this by
typing
git push origin gh-pages.
Then you go about finishing by opening a pull request like normal!
