Jekyll Journal¶ ↑
A super awesome way of writing daily blog posts with Jekyll.
It's like `git commit` but for real life.
It's based on this proof of concept, built with bash: github.com/lorentrogers/Journal.sh
Installation¶ ↑
First, you'll need to grab the gem:
gem install jekylljournal
Then, configure your installation. Make a new file in your home directory called `.jekylljournal.yaml` and fill in the options below.
:blog_location: /path/to/your/jekyll/blog/root
Custom Alias¶ ↑
It's super handy to map an alias to this app. My configuration just uses `j` to open up my daily journal.
Here's what's in my `.zshrc` file:
alias j="jekylljournal"
Usage¶ ↑
Once you've installed it, and set up your config file, you're ready to go:
j
Boom.
You should have Vim open to today's post.
Once you've finished, save the file and close it. Then you can save the journal to git:
j s
Or preview it if you like:
j p
Now you can browse to
localhost:4000
and check out your post.
