Create your Jekyll blog in minutes, without touching the command line.

I wrote a more detailed walkthrough including details of a lot of the workflow benefits and intro to Jekyll here: [Getting Started With Jekyll](#). You can use the Setup guide below to try Jekyll Now out fast.

I love starting out by forking first as you can get a feel for what Jekyll is like _extremely quickly_. You don't have to set up a local development environment, install dependancies and figure out how the Jekyll build process works to get your site up and running.

||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Walk

2. Through

3. The --- Host on your GitHub Pages User repo
|
|
||||||
4. Video ---
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
##### Step 2) Personalize your blog
|
1. Hit the fork button at the top right of the repository to fork a copy to your GitHub account.
|
||||||
|
2. Click the Settings button on your new forked repository and change the repository name to yourusername.github.io (ensure that yourusername is replaced with your GitHub username).
|
||||||
|
3. Your site should be live immediately! (although it can take up to 10 minutes)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
##### Step 2) Customize your site
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
##### Step 3) Publish your first post
|
You can now edit your site name, gravatar and other options using the _config.yml file.

||||||

|
##### Step 3) Publish your first blog post
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Your site is customized and looking great. Now you just have to write that epic blog post!

1. Edit the Hello World post in the _posts folder, deleting the placeholder content and entering your own.
|
||||||
|
2. Change the filename to include today's date and the title of your post. Jekyll requires posts to be named year-month-day-title.md
|
||||||
|
3. Update the Title. Those variables at the top of the blog post are called front-matter. In this case they specify which layout to use and the title of the blog post. There are [additional front-matter variables](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/frontmatter/) too, like permalink, tags, and category.
|
||||||
|
4. You can also create new blog posts without setting up local development, you can just hit the + icon in the _posts folder to create new content. Just remember to format the filename correctly and to include the front matter block to ensure that the file gets processed by Jekyll.
