## Installing
### Prerequisites
## Installation
Follow the [Jekyll Docs](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/) to complete the installation of basic environment (`Ruby`, `RubyGems` and `Bundler`).
[Fork **Chirpy**](https://github.com/cotes2020/jekyll-theme-chirpy/fork) on GitHub, and clone the fork to local by:
To improve the writing experience, we need to use some script tools. If your machine is running Debian or macOS, make sure that [GNU coreutils](https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/) is installed. Otherwise, install by:
```terminal
$ git clone git@github.com:<username>/jekyll-theme-chirpy -b master --single-branch
```
### Setting up the local envrionment
If you would like to run or build the project on your local machine, please follow the [Jekyll Docs](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/) to complete the installation of `Ruby`, `RubyGems` and `Bundler`.
Before running or building for the first time, please complete the installation of the Jekyll plugins. Go to the root directory of project and run:
```terminal
$ bundle install
```
`bundle` will automatically install all the dependencies specified by `Gemfile`.
What's more, in order to generate some extra files (*categories*, *tags* and *last modified list*), we need to use some tool scripts. If your machine is running Debian or macOS, make sure that [GNU coreutils](https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/) is installed. Otherwise, install by:

### Jekyll Plugins
[Fork **Chirpy** from GitHub](https://github.com/cotes2020/jekyll-theme-chirpy/fork), then clone your forked repo to local:
```console
$ git clone git@github.com:USER/jekyll-theme-chirpy.git -b master
```
And replace the `USER` above to your GitHub username.
The first time you run or build the project on local machine, perform the installation of Jekyll plugins. Go to the root of repo and run:
```terminal
$ bundle install
```
`bundle` will automatically install all the dependent Jekyll Plugins that listed in the `Gemfile`.
## Usage
Running [**Chirpy**](https://github.com/cotes2020/jekyll-theme-chirpy/) requires some extra files, which cannot be generated by Jekyll native commands, so please strictly follow the methods mentioned below to run or deploy your website.
### Directory Structure
### Initialization
The main files and related brief introductions are listed below:
Go to the root directory of the project and start initialization:
```sh
jekyll-theme-chirpy/
├── _data
├── _includes
├── _layouts
├── _posts # posts stay here
├── _scripts
├── .travis.yml # remove it
├── .github # remove this, too
├── assets
├── tabs
│   └── about.md # the ABOUT page
├── .gitignore
├── 404.html
├── Gemfile
├── LICENSE
├── README.md

└── sitemap.xml
```console
$ bash tools/init.sh
```
> If you not intend to deploy it on GitHub Pages, append parameter option `--no-gh` at the end of the above command.
As mentioned above, some files or directories should be removed from your repo:
What it does is:
```terminal
$ rm -rf .travis.yml .github _posts/*
```
1. Remove some files or directories from your repository:
- `.travis.yml`
- everything under `.github/`
- files under `_posts/`
- folder `docs/`
2. Unless the option `--no-gh` was enabled, setup the GitHub action workflow by renaming `pages-deploy.yml.hook` of directory `.github/workflows/` to `pages-deploy.yml`.
3. Automatically create a commit to save the changes.
### Configuration
Generally, go to `_config.yml` and configure the variables as needed. Some of them are typical options:
* `url`
Set to your website url and there should be no slash symbol at the tail. Format: `<protocol>://<domain>`.
* `avatar`
It defines the image file location of avatar. The sample image is `/assets/img/sample/avatar.jpg`, and should be replaced by your own one(a square image). Notice that a huge image file will increase the load time of your site, so keep your avatar image size as small as possible(may be *<https://tinypng.com/>* will help).
* `timezone`
To ensure that the posts' release date matches the city you live in, please modify the field `timezone` correctly. A list of all available values can be found on [TimezoneConverter](http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/findzone/findzone) or [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones).
* `theme_mode`
There are three options for the theme color scheme:
- **dual** - The default color scheme will follow the system settings, but if the system does not support dark mode, or the browser does not support `Media Queries Level 5`, the theme will be displayed as `light` mode by default. Anyway, the bottom left corner of the Sidebar will provide a button for users to switch color schemes.
- **dark** - Always show dark mode.
- **light** - Always show light mode.

Then open a browser and visit to <http://localhost:4000>.
Few days later, you may find that the file modification(e.g. edits to a post) does not refresh in real time by using `run.sh`. Don't worry, the advanced option `-r` (or `--realtime`) will solve this problem, but it requires [**fswatch**](http://emcrisostomo.github.io/fswatch/) to be installed on your machine. Type `-h` for more information.

### Deploying to GitHub Pages
### Deployment
Before the deployment begins, checkout the file `_config.yml` and make sure that the `url` has been configured. What's more, if you prefer the [Project site on GitHub](https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/about-github-pages#types-of-github-pages-sites) and also use the default domain `<username>.github.io`, remember to change the `baseurl` to your project name that starting with a slash. For example, `/project`.
Before the deployment begins, checkout the file `_config.yml` and make sure the `url` is configured correctly. Furthermore, if you prefer the [_project site_](https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/about-github-pages#types-of-github-pages-sites) and don't use a custom domain, or you want to visit your website with a base url on a web server other than **GitHub Pages**, remember to change the `baseurl` to your project name that starting with a slash. For example, `/project`.
#### Option 1: Built by GitHub Pages
Assuming you have already gone through the [initialization](#initialization), you can now choose any of the following methods to deploy your website.
By deploying the site in this way, you're allowed to push the source code directly to the remote.
#### Deploy on GitHub Pages
> **Note**: If you want to use any third-party Jekyll plugins that not on [this list](https://pages.github.com/versions/), stop reading the current approach and go to [*Option 2: Build locally*](#option-2-build-locally).
For security reasons, GitHub Pages build runs on `safe` mode, which restricts us from using tool scripts to generate additional page files. Therefore, we can use GitHub Actions to build the site, store the built site files on a new branch, and use that branch as the source of the Pages service.
**1**. Rename the repository to:
1. Push any commit to `origin/master` to trigger the GitHub Actions workflow. Once the build is complete, a new remote branch called `gh-pages` will appear, which is used to store the built site files.
|Site Type | Repo's Name|
|:---|:---|
|User or Organization | `<username>.github.io`|
|Project| Any one except `<username>.github.io`, let's say `project`|
2. Unless you prefer to project sites, rename your repository to `<username>.github.io` on GitHub.
**2**. Commit the changes of the repo first, then run the publish script:
3. Choose branch `gh-pages` as your GitHub Pages source.
4. Visit your website at the address indicated by GitHub.
#### Deploy on Other Platforms
On platforms other than GitHub, e.g. GitLab, we cannot enjoy the convenience of **GitHub Actions**. However, we have a tool to make up for this shortcoming.
Commit the changes of your repository first, then run the publish script:

#### Option 2: Build Locally
For security reasons, GitHub Pages runs on `safe` mode, which means the third-party Jekyll plugins or custom scripts won't work. If you want to use any other plugin that not on the [whitelist](https://pages.github.com/versions/), **you have to generate the site locally rather than on GitHub Pages**.
**1**. Browse to GitHub website, create a brand new repo named:
|Site Type | Repo's Name|
|:---|:---|
|User or Organization | `<username>.github.io`|
|Project| Any one except `<username>.github.io`, let's say `project`|
and clone it.
**2**. In the root of the source project, build your site by:
In the root of the source project, build your site by:
```console
$ bash tools/build.sh -d /path/to/local/project/
$ bash tools/build.sh -d /path/to/site/

The generated static files will be placed in the root of `/path/to/local/project`. Commit and push the changes to the `master` branch on GitHub.
**3**. Go to GitHub website and enable Pages service for the new repository.
**4**. Visit at:
|Site Type | Site URL |
|:---|:---|
|User or Organization | `https://<username>.github.io/`|
|Project| `https://<username>.github.io/project/`|
#### Finishing work
No matter which way you choose to deploy the website on GitHub, please enforce the `HTTPS` for it. See official docs: [Securing your GitHub Pages site with HTTPS](https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/securing-your-github-pages-site-with-https).
The generated site files will be placed in the root of `/path/to/site/`. Now you should upload those files to your web server, such as Nginx.
