Jekyll Journal

A super awesome way of writing daily blog posts with Jekyll.

It's like `git commit` but for real life.

Gem Version Dependency Status Gem Downloads

It's based on this proof of concept, built with bash: github.com/lorentrogers/Journal.sh

Installation

First, you'll need to grab the gem:

gem install jekylljournal

Then, configure your installation. Make a new file in your home directory called `.jekylljournal.yaml` and fill in the options below.

:blog_location: /path/to/your/jekyll/blog/root

Custom Alias

It's super handy to map an alias to this app. My configuration just uses `j` to open up my daily journal.

Here's what's in my `.zshrc` file:

alias j="jekylljournal"

Usage

Once you've installed it, and set up your config file, you're ready to go:

j

Boom.

You should have Vim open to today's post.

Once you've finished, save the file and close it. Then you can save the journal to git:

j s

Or preview it if you like:

j p

Now you can browse to

localhost:4000

and check out your post.
