Devlog - 2025-07-19

🚀 What I Did

• Went on trying to better my GitHub pages.
• Struggled for more than 5 hours I suppose.
• Well in the end I just concluded on not using any styling for time being since its anyways following minima’s base configuration.

🧠 What I Learned

• Jekyll Language is written in Ruby.
• Bundler(Ruby tool) - manages packages and correct versions of gems.
• Gemfile lists all the gems(eg. Jekyll, minima).

• bundle install - installs exactly what’s in the gemfile and locks in Gemfile.lock so site works consistently on your machine.

• bundle exec jekyll serve - Jekyll using the versions specified in your bundle.

• bundle exec jekyll clean - It clears out the _site/ directory (or any other temporary files Jekyll creates during builds).

• bundle exec jekyll build - It builds your static site from your source files (Markdown, SCSS, layouts, etc.) and outputs it into the _site/ directory.

bundle exec jekyll clean   # Clean up old site
bundle exec jekyll build   # Build the site fresh
bundle exec jekyll serve   # Run the local dev server to preview

What is Minima ?

• Minima is the default Jekyll theme.

• It’s a minimal, clean theme designed to help you get started fast with blogging.

• 📂 Files you often see from minima:

_layouts/
    default.html
    home.html
    post.html
    page.html

_includes/
    header.html
    footer.html
    social.html

🔥 What’s Next
