Hello World!!!
Hello World: Like the starting program in every language, this is my first article in my site using Jekyll.
I have been very exicited to host my site in Github Pages since long. I started working on it about 6 months ago but left it in between( my nature ). I do not know the exact reason but maybe my nature of jumping on and off a particular thing. I have this habit of not concentrating on a single work for a long time. Even this time I was on/off this project since last 2 weeks.
I have again started working with Github Pages and Jekyll. But the problem was I could not configure it that easily like the last time. Also I had lack of knowledge on this. So I spent 1 week on just documentation. It was amazing to just going through what you have done before in theory.
But the real trouble begin when I started setting up. I just kept getting error on setup only. The only reason I was stuck was that I was trying to set it up locally first. I had lower version of “ruby” then required. So I had to update ruby and all its gem. Anothe issue was working with the theme. First I was so confused about which theme to pick. I never knew there are so many themes on Jekyll and even premium themes. So finally I settled on this theme: PortfolioYOU The next trouble I got head on was the gh-pages gem
. It didn’t support jekyll 4.0.0
which was the default gem on inital setup of jekyll new site.
Anyways after going through all those errors, bugs and lack of knowlege, I started customization and data entry on my newly ready site. As I am writing this, I am still working on local setup.
I just somehow feel relieved just to pushing it to master branch(literally like moving site to live). It’s just a new experience of making it live
I hope to document my coding and bug-fixing troubles and stories on these articles.
Untill then, May the Force be with you!!!!
