How I started this website

Hello, this website is using just-the-docs remote-theme from Jekyll. See my _config.yml file. At First I was developing this locally, but I ran into issues. <insert issue here>. So I decided to use a remote-theme.

This will be just personal notes to myself in case I need to re-create this again.

  • I started this as a regular github pages(cayman theme) I think, then change it to remote-theme. Maybe do the same for next project?

  • Since I started developing locally using jekyll. I just uploaded the directories, sub directories and files that I need.

  • README.md and index.md are both completely different file. README.md is the actual readme file, while index.md is what is actually rendered. In index.md I can set the front matter title, nav_order, image, etc. it depends on the theme(I’m unsure)?. This was my issue with the last project website. I did not have an index.md

  • Next time, use the defaults in _config.yml

  • Before starting a project website, make sure I know what directories and pages are going to be required.
