Update Getting Started

Open aguinane opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Great project. When I tried to follow the getting started instructions I ran into some errors when running jekyll serve.

Haven't used jekyll before but eventually worked once i changed baseurl: "https://chowdown.io" to baseurl: ""

Just posting this here in case anyone else runs into a similar issue. Maybe there is an option that ignores then when running locally that can be added to quick start?

Two things:

  • Yes! You are correct. I used to have two branches (dev and gh-pages) going and tried to keep them seperate (one for "blank" starts, one built out as "Chowdown"), but I finally gave in and just maintain a single branch now.
  • This probably isn't ideal! Are there any Jekyll pros out there that know how to solve such a thing? I doubt it's branches, I figure I missing some setting or config. For now I guess we can just document it, but I'm assuming there's a "real Jekyll" way to do this, haha. Any ideas?

Looks like this might have the answer (having a separate dev config) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27386169/change-site-url-to-localhost-during-jekyll-local-development/

A simple fix for this is proposed in #48
