I made a suuuuuper ez mode tutorial on deploying and maintaining a custom site for my friend that’s about to look for a job. I’m curious if y’all know of a better method than this that’s also free. Let me know 😊 https://jeffreylikeswebsites.com/posts/how-to-do-this/ #jekyll #ruby
deploying and maintaining something like this easily

This guide is for my friend to make a quick personal site. There are lots of great tutorials out there; however, I didn’t see anything concise enough that included all steps. We will: Use Jekyll as the framework for heavy lifting Deploy with GitHub pages Not spend money or time, go play with your dog

Goal: super low effort to get content up and running

@frijolito creating a Wordpress site might be easier? Or put your content in a google doc and make the access public?

For people unfamiliar with git, starting off with GitHub pages seems like an additional hurdle?

@alok good call, he’s actually a developer but mostly on the backend side and doesn’t have experience with deployments. I just thought this would save a mild headache. I completely forgot about Wordpress but that’s also a good option
@frijolito I do enjoy github pages and have been hosting my personal blog there for probably over a decade. Storing each post in git per say isn’t that important to me, but knowing that I can easily switch providers if anything happens to GitHub pages is gold.
