Base Jekyll site for prototypes with Foundation 6

A starting point with Jekyll and Zurb Foundation 6 for quick prototyping.

Getting started

Install Jenkins.

Install Ruby.

Make sure Jekyll is installed (gem install jekyll) to use this repo.

Clone the repo and run the following commands:

jekyll serve -I -w --baseurl ''

Bash will tell you the local server address to preview, e.g. http://127.0.0.1:4000

Viewing on GitHub Pages

Included is a gh-pages branch which needs to be updated with changes from development to be viewed on a github.io URL.

Note that the GitHub Pages URL will be the username of the account, followed by github.io, then /project-name. Likely you will be changing the project name from this repo so be sure to update the baseurl value in _config.yml to match the new project name. Be sure to include the leading / in the config file.

If updating with changes from master then do the following:

git checkout gh-pages
git rebase master
git push -u origin gh-pages

You can now preview on GitHub Pages, e.g. ashnewport.github.io/jekyll
