Please note that this is a very rough version, lacking many features you would expect. Please feel free to fork and put in a pull request if you see anything glaringly obvious that needs changing, as I am still very new to this.

Getting started

Installation

If you haven't already done so, install Grunt and grunt-init:

npm i -g grunt-cli grunt-init

Once grunt-init is installed, place this template in your ~/.grunt-init/ directory. It's recommended that you use git clone to install this template into that directory as follows:

git clone https://github.com/desjardinsm/grunt-init-jekyll.git ~/.grunt-init/jekyll

(Windows users, see the documentation for the correct destination directory path)

To force grunt-init to use custom default values, create a defaults.json file in your ~/.grunt-init/ directory, and customize the values in that file.

Note: you can make the template available as any name you choose by simply changing the name of the folder that the template is installed into. So instead of ~/.grunt-init/jekyll, you may change the name to ~/.grunt-init/foo so that the template can be used with the following command: grunt-init foo.

Usage

Now that grunt init is intalled, at the command-line, cd into an empty directory and run grunt-init jekyll and follow the prompts. You might want to test that it works before you begin customizing the project:

Next, run npm install and bower install to install the project's dependencies.
Then, run grunt to build the project and test that it works.

Note that this template will generate files in the current directory, so be sure to change to a new directory first.

About

Forked from Jon Schlinkert's grunt-init-assemble, since I didn't find a jekyll-based grunt-init template. It's very much a work in progress at the moment. Feel free to PR anything you feel this needs.
