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.mdandindex.mdare both completely different file.README.mdis the actual readme file, whileindex.mdis what is actually rendered. Inindex.mdI can set the front mattertitle,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 anindex.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.
