Creating a Jekyll App on Heroku Cedar (from GitHub)
Setup Jekyll
The first thing you have to do is install the jekyll gem.
gem install jekyll
Clone the git repository
git clone [email protected]:markpundsack/jekyll-heroku.git
cd jekyll-heroku
Let's test it locally
jekyll serve
Open your browser and go to http://localhost:4000.
You should see "Hello World".
Deploying to Heroku
Install the Heroku gem
gem install heroku
Create a Heroku app
heroku create --stack cedar
Deploy!
git push heroku master
Test it:
heroku open
Creating a Jekyll App on Heroku Cedar (Manually)
Setup Jekyll
The first thing you have to do is install the jekyll gem.
gem install jekyll
Create the site structure
Create the app directory
mkdir jekyll-app
and create the following files:
cd jekyll-app
touch _config.yml
touch index.html
mkdir _posts
mkdir _layouts
touch _layouts/default.html
"Hello World" Jekyll
Let's create a Layout. Open _layouts/default.html and add:
<html>
<body>
{{ content }}
</body>
</html>
Now we need an index page. Open index.html and add:
---
layout: default
title: Jekyll Example Site
---
<h1>Hello World</h1>
Let's test it locally:
jekyll serve
Open your browser and go to http://localhost:4000
You should see "Hello World"
Deploying to Heroku
First, install the Heroku gem
gem install heroku
Create a Gemfile and add:
source :rubygems
gem 'RedCloth'
gem 'jekyll'
Create the Gemfile.lock
bundle install
Create a Procfile
echo "web: jekyll serve -P $PORT" > Procfile
Exclude all of those files
echo "exclude: [ Gemfile, Gemfile.lock, Procfile, vendor]" >> _config.yml
Since Cedar will run Jekyll and generate the _site files automatically, they don't need to be check into git
echo _site >> .gitignore
Create a git repo and commit
git init .
git add .
git commit
Create a Heroku app
heroku create --stack cedar
Deploy!
git push heroku master
Test it:
heroku open
