Thinknear's Engineering Blog

This blog runs on octopress.

Getting started

Thanks to this great post.

• clone locally, ruby install (if needed), bundle install, and octopress install

git clone [email protected]:ThinkNear/thinknear.github.com.git
cd thinknear.github.com
rvm install ruby-2.0.0-p481
bundle install
rake install

Note: For rake install if it asks if a theme is present and to overwrite, say no as rake has already been installed.

• add post (new posts created in: source/_posts. More on directory layout)

rake new_post["Creating a Github Blog Using Octopress"]

• generate, preview, iterate, commit

rake generate
rake preview
git add .
git commit -m "Blog post."
git push origin source

• deploy

One time set up:

rake setup_github_pages

Then each time you want to deploy:

rake deploy

Make a post appear as a _new entry_ by setting is_newest in the yaml to true. Remove from last article.
