Usage
1. Install dependencies
Poole is built on Jekyll and uses its built-in SCSS compiler to generate our CSS. Before getting started, you'll need to install the Jekyll gem:
$ gem install jekyll
Windows users: Windows users have a bit more work to do, but luckily @juthilo has your back with his Run Jekyll on Windows guide.
Need syntax highlighting? Junior includes support for Pygments or Rouge, so install your gem of choice to make use of the built-in styling. Read more about this in the Jekyll docs.
2a. Quick start
To help anyone with any level of familiarity with Jekyll quickly get started, Junior includes everything you need for a basic Jekyll site. To that end, just download Junior and start up Jekyll.
2b. Roll your own Jekyll site
Folks wishing to use Jekyll's templates and styles can do so with a little bit of manual labor. Download Junior and then copy what you need (likely _layouts/, *.html files, atom.xml for RSS, and public/ for CSS, JS, etc.).
3. Running locally
To see your Jekyll site with Junior applied, start a Jekyll server. In Terminal, from /junior-theme (or whatever your Jekyll site's root directory is named):
> jekyll serve # You might need "bundle exec jekyll serve"
Open http://localhost:4000 in your browser, and voilà.
4. Serving it up
If you host your code on GitHub, you can use GitHub Pages to host your project.
- Fork this repo and switch to the
gh-pagesbranch. - If you're using a custom domain name, modify the
CNAMEfile to point to your new domain. - If you're not using a custom domain name, modify the
baseurlin_config.ymlto point to your GitHub Pages URL. Example: for a repo atgithub.com/username/junior, usehttp://username.github.io/junior/. Be sure to include the trailing slash. - Done! Head to your GitHub Pages URL or custom domain.
No matter your production or hosting setup, be sure to verify the baseurl option file and CNAME settings. Not applying this correctly can mean broken styles on your site.
Options
Junior includes some customizable options, typically applied via classes on the <body> element.
Rems, font-size, and scaling
Junior is built almost entirely with rems (instead of pixels). rems are like ems, but instead of building on the immediate parent's font-size, they build on the root element, <html>.
By default, we use the following:
html {
font-size: 16px;
line-height: 1.5;
}
@media (min-width: 38em) {
html {
font-size: 20px;
}
}
To easily scale your site's typography and components, simply customize the base font-sizes here.
Development
Junior has two branches, but only one is used for active development.
masterfor development. All pull requests should be to submitted againstmaster. Cheersgh-pagesfor our hosted site, which includes our analytics tracking code. Please avoid using this branch.
CSS is handled via Jeykll's built-in Sass compiler. Source Sass files are located in _sass/, included into styles.scss, and compile to styles.css.
Credit
- Pixyll theme was used as a base for development of this theme.
- Junior.IO's website design served as inspiration for this theme's look.
