Start my blog with Jekyll and disqus

NOTE: this article is first posted in my old website, which has be deprecated.

Jekyll is a powerful static website framework, which indead works for GitHub Pages. At the time I found it, I decided to apply it for my github.io as you can see.

Some useful webpages for install Jekyll at github.io:

Host on GitHub in 3 Minutes

Actually you need only to clone the Jekyll in your gihub.io, or just copy all file from Jekyll.

Jekyll advise you to clone the jekyll to local with your name and push it to your github.

git clone https://github.com/plusjade/jekyll-bootstrap.git USERNAME.github.io
cd USERNAME.github.com 
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:USERNAME/USERNAME.github.io
git push origin master

But if you have already create a repository at GitHub, you can also copy the files from jekyll to your repository.

git clone https://github.com/plusjade/jekyll-bootstrap.git jekyll-bootstrap
cd jekyll-bootstrap
cp -r ./* router/to/USERNAME.github.io
cd router/to/USERNAME.github.io
git push origin master

It also works honestly.
