i watched the whole jekyll series, very good, I am impressed with the fact that you don't stumble at all, like ehh, or ahh, you have a good steady rhythm during the whole series.
The way a website is set up to be hosted on GitHub Pages has changed slightly since this video was made but that's OK and the video is still helpful. On another note, I am a first time Jekyll user with a bit of non-web programming experience. I have watched nearly all of your 19 videos in the Jekyll tutorial series and found them very helpful. I also made a small contribution to support your work. Thank you.
One of the best tutorials I've ever seen. In the morning I discovered your channel, and now, at 7 pm, I have a blog. And most of the time went on install jekyll and configure other things. Thanks!
This was SO MUCH EASIER than trying to follow the GitHub pages documentation -- that was took and hour and failed to work. You had me up and running in minutes. Thanks!
Clear and precise. Followed exactly the same and was up and running within few minutes. Appreciate your quick and easy way to Github pages with Jekyll.
Just been thru the 19 tutorials on Jekyll. Very useful, thanks Mike. The tutorials should be labelled Jekyll for Dummies as I was able easily follow them.
As I have commented in tutorial 4, it is easier to set up the GitHub Page first, pull it to the local site, and then setting the Gemfile and _config.yml file. But, thank you very much for this great Tutorial!
Watched the cpmplete series and it is very good to get started quickly with jekyll. Very much like a true getting started thing. Hats off to you guys...
For windows users: there's a sort of "frontend" shell extension to git called TortoiseGit (TortoiseGit.org). It makes it much easier to create a repo, add/delete files and there's even a convenient way to add files/folders to the .gitignore file although the format of that file is pretty easy. You have to install "git for windows" first, then install TortoiseGit second. I have been using it for a while and like it a lot.
Hi, series were very cool! I just wish you named every video by the content, bcs when I want to go back to something I have hard time finding in which video it was :D
This was a wonderful series. I wish it could only have a tutorial how to link a cloudflare account to github pages, and how to link a custom domain name.
Hey there, I'm having an issue... Everything loads just fine, but the theme looks like plain HTML with giant buttons which take the entire screen. I've tried multiple times, and it's always the same. Any ideas? Thanks
Thanks for this tutorial! for me, things worked only when I switched from "gh-pages" to "master" branch. Apparentely Github [now] only publishes on master branch.
I have a ionos deploy now site that pulls straight from github for me... now i am trying to figure out how to adapt Jekyll to that arrangement. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Good job buddy👍 Can we host jekyll website on shared hosting❓ Like host gator or any other. If yes please provide me any link of this type of article or tutorial.
How about custom domain? will you add a tutorial for custom domain? I am using wordpress and planning just use jekyll but if its that much complicated to do maybe I wont
Hey Trax, Setting up a custom domain with github pages is a bit out of the scope of this course, so unfortunately i'm not going to be doing a tutorial on it. It's not a complicated process, but the problem is that depending on where you buy your custom domain from, the process for setting it up is a bit different. You have to configure your dns setting to essentially point the domain to github pages' servers. Here's the official github docs on how to do this help.github.com/articles/using-a-custom-domain-with-github-pages/
love the tutorials. tried the everything without any mods to the base Jekyll, save those in this vid. received this error: The symbolic link /vendor/bundle/ruby/2.3.0/gems/ffi-1.9.25/ext/ffi_c/libffi-i386/include/ffitarget.h targets a file which does not exist within your site's repository ...any ideas?
No, you don't. "_site folder" is for local running by the command "jekyll serve". Since you are using GitHub pages to be your server, no need to upload "_site folder". Also in the gitignore you can find this folder is listed. For more detail, please check stackoverflow.com/questions/31871433/why-put-the-site-directory-of-a-jekyll-site-in-gitignore
Hi, I used this tut. to upload a hugo site all was ok till around 4:50 minutes in when I entered as per Mike: git remote add origin .... and got: fatal: remote origin already exists. I googled this error and found: stackoverflow.com/questions/10904339/github-fatal-remote-origin-already-exists/22826225 I typed in: git remote set-url origin ..... which was accepted without error and then continued with Mike's tut which worked perfectly.
I know this video is quite old, but if anyone has issues getting their theme to work, you can try specifying a remote theme in the _config.yml file. Hope this helps someone out.
Not clear enough. You make things a bit random and without clearly explaining why you do that. I'm going to look for something better explained, with a begin and a end.

Yeah that was what I was most struck by this whole series, just really comfortable with your script and speaking at the camera during the walkthrough!

Actually a great series. High level teaching!

Oh almost forgot: I somehow made it through all 19 parts in this playlist. Thank you for all your efforts Mike!
Clear and precise. Followed exactly the same and was up and running within few minutes.
Appreciate your quick and easy way to Github pages with Jekyll.
This is great, now I can have my own personal website up and running easily
Just been thru the 19 tutorials on Jekyll. Very useful, thanks Mike. The tutorials should be labelled Jekyll for Dummies as I was able easily follow them.
Excellent tutorial on how to use Jekyll and get a simple web site up and running on GitHub Pages.
As I have commented in tutorial 4, it is easier to set up the GitHub Page first, pull it to the local site, and then setting the Gemfile and _config.yml file. But, thank you very much for this great Tutorial!

Brilliant series on Jekyll. Absolutely brilliant.
Great series of videos. Watched them all. Short and to-the-point. Very useful information.
Thanks mike for all this videos, great to start leaning this jekyll😊
I just see another ‘ The New Boston’ is arising. Very cool stuff, giraffe academy! Nice name and logo also.

I love this whole series.
Awsome tutorials. Thanks!

Thanks Mike for the great tutorial series. I am end of 2020 still it is relevant. Thanks.
great series!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Awesome series, it really took the confusion out of using Jekyll for me.
This was a wonderful series. I wish it could only have a tutorial how to link a cloudflare account to github pages, and how to link a custom domain name.
Jekyll is a powerful tool. Thanks Giraffe Acadamy for this great tutorial! I am going to build something awesome...
Great series man
perfect conclusion. thanks🤗
Why does it have to be on the gh-pages branch though? What's going to happen if I just use the main branch.
Great Series Man!! Great Job!
fantastic tutorial. Thanks so much
thanks for your efforts on making this helpful list for jekyll
great work man, thanks
Great tutorial! But I think that, if you have a custom domain, you actually have to put it in the url variable and leave the baseurl blank.
Nice tutorial. Thanks.
I finished the series. Great tutorial. Thank you for shared! Saludos.
Awesome series @Mike Dane
Hey there, I'm having an issue... Everything loads just fine, but the theme looks like plain HTML with giant buttons which take the entire screen. I've tried multiple times, and it's always the same. Any ideas? Thanks
Thanks I Needed Video I Didn't Understand Web Posts On How To Do It :)
Awesome series of tutorials
Thanks for this tutorial! for me, things worked only when I switched from "gh-pages" to "master" branch. Apparentely Github [now] only publishes on master branch.
There should be a link to Github pages tutorial in case Github changes things like you mentioned.
Thanks, that helped a lot
Thank you Mike for this clear and precise tutorial! Super useful!
Thanks. it's great tutorial. Simple and quickly.
Thank you so much! Followed the whole series and it was really good
You made one of my dreams come true. Thanks buddy. Earned a subscription.
:-}
Don't you need a forward slash in front of the baseurl?
How do you have so many files by default, the repo I created was blank. I think you forgot to mention the installation of Ruby, GCC and Make.
Thanks a lot Mike ur the best
Mike that was a a short and useful tutorial. Thanks! Can you please share what tool you used to merge your video with screencast?
Excellent!!! Great content! Keep simple!
Easy to grasp tutorials, good work :)
Thank you king!
Thanks Michael!
Getting images to display correctly locally and then on the gh-page has been a big issue for me!
Thanks for this tutorial!
Thanks for the vid man. Awesome!
I have a ionos deploy now site that pulls straight from github for me... now i am trying to figure out how to adapt Jekyll to that arrangement. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Do you have any instruction on publishing to IIS?
What is the editor program you use?
Good job buddy👍
Can we host jekyll website on shared hosting❓
Like host gator or any other.
If yes please provide me any link of this type of article or tutorial.
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
I don't have the Github Pages section when i scroll down the repository settings. Any help?
it should be on the side-bar of the settings, look for "Code and Automation" >> "pages".
Hey so after i did this, my website stopped running locally and It just comes up as a blank page on the github link
Hi, have you tried using the following command to build -> bundle exec jekyll serve --baseurl ""
Can you tell me how to make filters and combinational filters for posts in Jekyll, pleassssssss ???
great, thanks bro
cant we build, why we posting raw files all at once?,
I can't apply jekyll theme from RubyGem when I published my blog on github pages.
Thank you
How about custom domain? will you add a tutorial for custom domain? I am using wordpress and planning just use jekyll but if its that much complicated to do maybe I wont
Hey Trax,
Setting up a custom domain with github pages is a bit out of the scope of this course, so unfortunately i'm not going to be doing a tutorial on it.
It's not a complicated process, but the problem is that depending on where you buy your custom domain from, the process for setting it up is a bit different. You have to configure your dns setting to essentially point the domain to github pages' servers.
Here's the official github docs on how to do this
help.github.com/articles/using-a-custom-domain-with-github-pages/
What is the name of the instructor in question?
to configure baseurl i didn't found config.yml file where to find it.
thank youu!!!
love u bud
Can you explain how to do this with a GitHub pages repo that has the *.github.io url?
Best practice is to use hyphens for repo names, not underscores; just sayin'. Otherwise great tutorial. :)
love the tutorials. tried the everything without any mods to the base Jekyll, save those in this vid. received this error: The symbolic link /vendor/bundle/ruby/2.3.0/gems/ffi-1.9.25/ext/ffi_c/libffi-i386/include/ffitarget.h targets a file which does not exist within your site's repository ...any ideas?
found it: stackoverflow.com/questions/49867220/jekyll-website-wont-load
Hi, Thanks for this.
Can I use the same procedure to host Hugo on GitHub?
Nice tutorial. Do I need to commit the _site folder?
No, you don't. "_site folder" is for local running by the command "jekyll serve". Since you are using GitHub pages to be your server, no need to upload "_site folder". Also in the gitignore you can find this folder is listed. For more detail, please check stackoverflow.com/questions/31871433/why-put-the-site-directory-of-a-jekyll-site-in-gitignore
Now github requires the repo name to be same as User name in order to create a page.
The 'baseurl' setting in _config.yml should be '/ga_blog' here.
You're absolutely right, thanks for catching that!
Hi, I used this tut. to upload a hugo site all was ok till around 4:50 minutes in when I entered as per Mike:
git remote add origin ....
and got:
fatal: remote origin already exists.
I googled this error and found:
stackoverflow.com/questions/10904339/github-fatal-remote-origin-already-exists/22826225
I typed in:
git remote set-url origin .....
which was accepted without error and then continued with Mike's tut which worked perfectly.
im working on windows an my site looks like shit no layout
i love you.
I know this video is quite old, but if anyone has issues getting their theme to work, you can try specifying a remote theme in the _config.yml file. Hope this helps someone out.
at 4:33 you called the link as "this guy" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Akhh finish😂
Not clear enough.
You make things a bit random and without clearly explaining why you do that.
I'm going to look for something better explained, with a begin and a end.
Thanks man, good course.
I uploaded the code onto github but the page stays blank. Any ‘tips would be appreciated
Same
