mjrodriguez.github.io

Personal website and blog built with Jekyll and hosted on GitHub Pages.

Prerequisites

• Ruby (any recent version; the system Ruby on macOS works fine)
• Bundler: gem install bundler

Install

bundle install

Run locally

bundle exec jekyll serve

Open http://localhost:4000 in your browser.

If you edit _config.yml, restart the server — Jekyll does not hot-reload it.

Build

bundle exec jekyll build

Output is written to _site/.

Adding a blog post

Create a file in _posts/ named YYYY-MM-DD-your-title.markdown:

---
layout: post
title: "Your Post Title"
date: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS -0700
categories: tag1 tag2
---

Post content goes here. Inline math: $E = mc^2$. Block math:

$$
\int_a^b f(x)\,dx
$$
