Overview

Personal website, using the al-folio theme.

Prerequisites

• For windows, install this.

  • Make sure to have no spaces in the installation path

• Move to website local folder in Admin-mode command line and install Jekyll

  • gem install jekyll bundler

• Keep everything up-to-date with bundle update

  • (useful link here)

• Early on I got a 'require' error when trying to run the server. I solved it with:

  • Run bundle add webrick
  • (useful link here)

Development

I use Ruby to test changes before posting on the website.

• Make changes in the local repository
• Open command line, navigate to website folder and open server with

  bundle exec jekyll serve
  

• Go to the local server (link should appear in the cmd window) and check the changes locally

Acknowledgments

This version of the website uses al-folio. I've found their starting guide and some issues very useful to customize the website:

• https://github.com/alshedivat/al-folio/issues
• https://github.com/alshedivat/al-folio#getting-started

I implemented some customizations to the theme with the help of GPT-4.

The previous version of this website used minimal mistakes, which I learned from:

• https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/docs/quick-start-guide/
• https://www.cross-validated.com/Personal-website-with-Minimal-Mistakes-Jekyll-Theme-HOWTO-Part-I/
