This is the code for my personal website - a clone of Robert Spurlin's fork of Yevgeniy Brikman's Home Page. I have not deleted the blog, only de-activated the link to it in _config.yml; in fact, I added Mathjax to it, as who knows, I may have the urge to blog soon (after all, it's May 2020 right now and I'm working from home during the pandemic).

1. Fork this site
2. Rename the repo to myusername.github.io
3. Change trwaters in _config.yml to your username and update the twitter handle, etc.

1. Use Git to clone this repo.
2. Make sure you have Jekyll installed.
3. Just the first time: bundle install.
4. Delete _config.yml and then rename _config.yml.local to _config.yml.
5. To build the local site and serve it: bundle exec jekyll serve.
6. To test: in a browser, go to http://localhost:4000.
7. Edit to your liking.
8. Make a new repo on github named myusername.github.io without a Readme.md or .gitignore
9. Push your local build.
10. Rename _config.yml to something different like _config.yml.local and then rename _config.yml.github to _config.yml. Incorporate any necessary sylistic changes from _config.yml.local to _config.yml without altering the required github settings. Similarly rename Gemfile to Gemfile.local and Gemfile.github to Gemfile.
11. Under the Branches tab in Settings, make sure the repo is set to master (not gh-pages). Finally, in the GitHub Pages section of the Options tab of Settings, make sure the site built correctly (and if not, debug).
12. In your local repo, issue git update-index --assume-unchanged Gemfile and git update-index --assume-unchanged _config.ylm to not sync these files once all setup.

See the Jekyll and GitHub Pages documentation for more info.

1. Built with Jekyll. This website is completely static and I use basic HTML or Markdown for everything.
2. Hosted on GitHub Pages. I'm using the GitHub Pages Gem and only Jekyll plugins that are available on GitHub Pages.
3. Free SSL and CDN provided by CloudFlare.
4. The design is loosely based on Kasper, Pixyll, and Medium.
5. Uses Basscss, Sass, Font Awesome Icons, Hint.css,and Google Fonts for styling.
6. Uses jQuery, lazySizes, and responsive-nav.js for behavior.
7. Uses Google Analytics for monitoring and metrics.
