One of the features that made me fall in love with Jekyll was how super simple it was to start a new project. With one command jekyll new project_name
you've got a brand new Jekyll project to start working on.
If your new Jekyll project is going to be used for blogging, you'll want to create posts for your new blog.
Jekyll by default provides a folder in which all your posts live. Within the Jekyll project, you'll find a folder called _posts
. To create a new post you'll need to create a new markdown file with a file name in this format:
YYYY-MM-DD-title.markdown
