Personal blog built with Jekyll and deployed with GitHub Pages.

Reproducible Dev Environment (Nix)

If you use Nix, this repo includes a pinned dev shell (a plain mkShell with Ruby, Bundler, and the system dependencies):

nix develop --no-pure-eval
make setup   # bundle install (run once)
make serve   # jekyll serve --livereload

Optional with direnv:

direnv allow
make setup
make serve

Note: the shell uses --no-pure-eval so direnv/nix develop can read the working tree.

Local Development

1. Install Ruby 3.4.x and Bundler.

   rbenv install 3.4.8
   rbenv local 3.4.8
   gem install bundler

2. Install dependencies:

3. Run the site:

   bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload

4. Open http://127.0.0.1:4000.

Content Editing

• Posts live in _posts/ and follow YYYY-MM-DD-title.md.
• Main styles are in assets/css/main.css.
• Layouts are in _layouts/.

Notes

• url is set to https://devin.fitzsky.com in _config.yml.
• baseurl is intentionally empty for root-domain hosting.
• Ruby 2.6 will fail dependency resolution for current github-pages gems.
• Ruby 4.x is currently incompatible with github-pages (commonmarker requires Ruby < 4.0), so this repo pins Ruby 3.4.8.
• Current pinned versions: Ruby 3.4.8 (latest compatible with github-pages), github-pages gem 232, webrick 1.9.2.
