I like Bootstrap, so I will use it to enhance my site presentation. The basic interface created and presented by Jekyll is nice, but it can be greatly enhanced with one of the many freely available frameworks. Regardless of how it is set up, once it is you can push and pull changes to and from GitHub. You could create everything on GitHub and then use a pull request to pull everything down to a local repository. There are many ways to accomplish this task.

Once the gemfile is in place, the following command is used to run Jekyll locally: Using this approach, the following lines are placed in your gemfile: The gem is called github-pages, and it can be installed with the following line:įurthermore, the GitHub documentation recommends running Jekyll with Bundler to mirror the functioning of GitHub’s build server. Thankfully, a Ruby gem is available that sets up everything to make sure you have all of the necessary versions and such. When using the two together, you will still want to run Jekyll locally, so you can make changes and preview before sending to GitHub.
