[🛠] How to Start a GitHub Pages Blog with Jekyll

✨ GPT Summary 　

A note on creating a blog with Jekyll and GitHub Pages, pointing to a strong external guide instead of rewriting the whole thing myself.

Replacing This with an External Link

Building a Website with GitHub Pages and Jekyll (Blog, Portfolio)

• Creating a Jekyll-based website
• Hosting a website with GitHub Pages

I found an article that was already written extremely well, so I deleted the post I had been drafting and replaced it with the link above. The author wrote the guidelines very kindly and clearly.

If I cared about page views, it might be better to write it myself… but in an era where AI is becoming part of everyday life, I do not think it makes sense to waste time blogging about this instead of building apps.

I did not start this blog to trap people on a page for views and AdSense revenue. I started it to share my growth process across different fields, useful tips, and development logs.

This policy will not change when I write guideline-style posts in the future. (That said, if I cannot find a guide with quality I like, I will probably end up writing it myself.)

Below is a backup of the post I had previously been writing.

(Stopped Drafting) How to Start a GitHub Pages Blog with Jekyll (Mac OS)

1. Reference: Jekyll on macOS
   • The installation went smoothly without Ruby/Gem version issues. (Actually, I did run into a version issue in the middle, but running gem install jekyll bundler separately resolved it.)
2. Reference: Jekyll - Quickstart
   • Below is a separate guideline I made based on the Quickstart. I am sharing it because Mac OS users may find it useful.
     • Create a repository named blog on GitHub. (Free users should make it public; paid users can choose public or private.)
     • cd ~
     • git clone https://github.com/{GitHub nickname}/blog
     • jekyll new blog
     • cd blog
     • jekyll serve --livereload
     • git init
     • git add --all
     • git commit -m "Create by running 'jekyll new blog'"
     • git push
