Jekyll Reference Sheet
Installing Jekyll on Windows
Jekyll is for making static blogs, like this one.
Please note that I don’t recommend installing it on a Windows. The below is assuming you have no other choice to increase your productivity. That said, here are the installation instructions on Windows. If you are using the Ruby installer, you might want to install MSYS separately. You will get the pacman package manager as a plus for this installtion. Then, if you are like me, you might get stuck with this issue for a long time. Here is how to solve it:
gem install ffi -f
bundle update
Another tip, use Sublime Text for editing the blog. You can have the folder tree on the right pane open as many tabs as necessary for editing. I was using vi this whole time.
