This repository contains the source code for seeknay.com, a personal tech blog built with Jekyll and hosted on GitHub Pages.

• Type: Personal Blog / Portfolio
• Engine: Jekyll
• Theme: Minimal Mistakes (Remote Theme)
• Hosting: GitHub Pages

The site leverages the power of static site generation via Jekyll, utilizing a remote theme for styling and layout to keep the codebase clean and maintainable.

• Ruby: The underlying language for Jekyll.
• Liquid: Templating language used for dynamic content insertion.
• Markdown (Kramdown): Used for authoring content (posts and pages).
• YAML: Used for configuration (_config.yml) and Front Matter data.
• SCSS: The theme uses SCSS, though this repo currently relies on the standard theme assets.

• _config.yml: Critical. The central configuration file. Controls site settings, author info, navigation, and plugins. Note: Changes here require a server restart.
• _posts/: Contains blog posts. Format: YYYY-MM-DD-title.md.
• _pages/: Contains static pages (e.g., about.md, 404.md, Archives).
• _includes/: HTML partials. Contains a custom overrides like analytics-providers/google-gtag.html.
• assets/: Currently stores images in images/.
• Gemfile: Define Ruby gem dependencies.

• Line Endings: Use standard LF.
• Encoding: UTF-8.

When acting as an AI assistant for this repository, please adhere to the following:

1. Content Creation:

   • New posts must go into _posts/ with the filename format YYYY-MM-DD-title.md.
   • Ensure valid YAML Front Matter (title, date, categories, tags).
   • Use classes: wide in Front Matter or defaults if a wide layout is preferred.

2. Configuration Management:

   • All global settings (Title, Description, Author links, Sidebars) are managed in _config.yml.
   • When modifying _config.yml, remind the user that a local server restart is required.

3. Theme Customization:

   • Do not try to edit theme files directly as they are loaded remotely.
   • To Override: Create a file with the same path and name in the local directory (e.g., _includes/head.html to override the theme's head).
   • Custom CSS: If requested, create assets/css/main.scss and import the theme's CSS specifically to add overlays, but prefer using _config.yml skin settings first.

4. Plugins:

   • Supported plugins are listed in Gemfile under github-pages or jekyll_plugins.
   • Current plugins: jekyll-paginate, jekyll-sitemap, jekyll-gist, jekyll-feed, jemoji, jekyll-include-cache, jekyll-algolia.

To run the site locally:

bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve

Access via http://localhost:4000.

The site is deployed automatically via GitHub Pages when changes are pushed to the default branch.
