Install the gem:
gem install kickster
Execute gem and scaffold Kickster files:
kickster new site_name
Setup your environment:
cd site_name
bin/setup
You can push your project to any branch except gh-pages. For sitename.github.io repo users make sure to use another branch than master.
Run Jekyll:
bundle exec jekyll serve
If you do not want the Kickster setup but just the deploy scripts then copy them from the bin folder.
Run this in the root project folder in your console:
bin/deploy
Don't forget to enable your repository on Circle CI and update the _config.yml file with your url!
