Upstream Community Theme

The Upstream Community Theme is a ready-to-use Jekyll theme to help you create a basic static site for your project. It was designed with the Red Hat Upstream Community in mind, but can be used by anyone looking to create a simple, lightweight site.

Prerequisites

• Install a full Ruby development environment. Ruby version 2.4.0 or above is required, including all development headers. You can run ruby -v to check your current Ruby version.
• RubyGems. You can run gem -v to check if you have RubyGems installed.
• GCC and Make. You can run gcc -v,g++ -v and make -v to see if your system already has them installed.

Using Docker to run Jekyll

Alternatively you can use Docker to test your changes locally.

To run it, simply execute the following Docker command from the project root directory:

docker run --rm --volume="$PWD:/srv/jekyll" -it -p 4000:4000 jekyll/jekyll:3 jekyll serve

To preview your site, browse to http://localhost:4000

Deployment on GitHub Pages

To deploy your site using GitHub Pages you will need to add the github-pages gem.

Note that GitHub Pages runs in safe mode and only allows a set of whitelisted plugins.

To use the github-pages gem, you'll need to add the following on your Gemfile:

source "https://rubygems.org"
gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins

And then run bundle update.

To deploy a project page that is kept in the same repository as the project they are for, please refer to the Project Pages section in Deploying Jekyll to GitHub Pages.
