Notes on: Install Jekyll (and Ruby) on Windows for GitHub pages

1. Install Ruby that is greater or equal to 2.4.0, this will install "DevKit" that developers refer to:
	https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/

	*** If you come across any issues and search online, be mindful that when recommended to '$ ruby dk.rb init' they are referring to an older version of Ruby than 2.4.0 ***

2. As of this writing there is bug in ridk ( https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller2/issues/101 ).  So after Ruby install, restart CLI and execute:
	$ ridk exec pacman -Syu --needed --noconfirm --ask 20
	$ ridk install 2 3

3. Unable to run Jekyll following GitHub instructions ( bundle exec jekyll _3.3.0_ new NEW-JEKYLL-SITE-REPOSITORY-NAME ), so use the following instead:

marckassay / symlink_resolver.cmd

Last active November 26, 2018 22:40

Batch script that resolves its symlink's value

	:: this batch script is intended to get the value of a symlink, so that when the script is executed
	:: it will resolve the value of the symlink, assigned to '_convertedresult'. this is my first batch
	:: script coded, so this is probably rubbish to some and unstable too. also very slow in parsing the
	:: final var, '_convertedresult', i've developed this on Windows 10. also this doesn't rely on any
	:: additional executables that may or may not be on the computer executing this script.
