Installation

Be sure to have all you need before running anything.

Run local server:

$ git clone https://github.com/DavideBri/Gesko.git
$ cd Gesko
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec jekyll build
$ bundle exec jekyll serve

Navigate to localhost:4000. You're Welcome, Fork and be Stargazer. If you want to upload it to Github Pages, remember to update the _congif.yml and if you are going to upload in a repo called yournickname.github.io, remember to update the {{ site.baseurl }} to {{ site.url }} . Note that there is also a gtag in the _layouts/default.html, you should remove it.

To create new tag, create a folder in tag/ with the name of the new one. In this folder add an index.html file and just add this header:

---
layout: tag
tag: yourNewTag
---

Then build again and you're ready!!

gesko's Issues

Build on github.io page failed

Describe the bug
I pushed a copy of the repo to my github.io one to see if it works properly before customizing it but it seems like the build is failed while installing gems from Ruby store (Screenshot from GitHub Actions page). I went to the store to see if those versions existed, and they were, so maybe the problem stemmed from the platforms?

Platforms copied from Gemfile.lock (unmodified):

• arm64-darwin-22
• x64-mingw32
• x86_64-linux

It built just fine locally, just to let you know.

Operating system: macOS 13.0 Ventura

Home button does not link properly

The same, once you click on an article, the home button gives you a 404.

My search feature is not working

I tried to host the website on https://dhruvdoshi.github.io/blog and everything worked fine and smooth. But when I tried to use the search feature there was some issue with it it was trying to read from https://dhruvdoshi.github.io/ where another website id hosted.

Now I changed the URL from each and every place in the code to the blog page still I'm facing the issue with it. There must be some point where I need to update the URL also in the GH-PAGES hosting as the local hosting is working fine and smooth. Everything is working fine on the localhost but not on the github pages.

If anyone could help please let me know!

Back button of any article does not link properly -

Example click on the first article. once there on the top left if you click on the back button a 404 is shown.

How to display photos inside posts

If I try to display a photo inside the .md like this ../assets/images/fallback.png, it's working locally. but when I'm deploying it on github pages it's not working.

modify footer social links

how to modify social links in the website footer?

I can't find the file where the footer component is

404 not found blog posts (Vercel Deployment)

I cloned this template and used it for my blog. After I wrote a test article, I pushed it to vercel. However, seems like every time I click the blog post, it shows 404 page.

Currently, the blog post's URL is "https://xxxxxx-blog.vercel.app/2022/06/07/opening-message". Not sure which part I did wrong. Do I need to change the setting in _config.yml ?

Changing syntax highlighting

Hello there! I have just started using this theme and I have noticed that the base syntax highlighting is very lacklustre. The language which I use the most and which will be featured the most on the site, C#, has only 3 colours, and the comment colour and the actual code have the same colour, making it look horrible. I have already tried changing the syntax_highlighter option in _config.yml to coderay with no dice (I added the gem to Gemfile, the gem seems to work there is just no difference in syntax highlighting)

Thanks!

Add auto reading time estimation

I think it would be great if the reading time calculated automatically. I've just added this for myself and if you agree, I can create PR for this.
I considered 265 WMP for myself rounded to ceiling. If you consider another reading speed, please let me know.
Thanks.

New features proposal

Hi!
I'm working on some features for the theme. I want to share some changes that I made for my blog to discuss if could be useful also for the Gesko theme. Here is the list:

1. Add comments-enable option to enable/disable Disqus comments. If false, the comments section is no longer visible
2. Add more social channels (Linkedin, Mastodon) and show them in the social footer only if they are configured in the _config.yml file
3. Migrate to FontAwesome v6.0 (to have some new icons, like the Mastodon one). This could be quite tricky because every user has to create a new Kit on the FontAwesome site

Could be these features interesting for the theme? If yes, I can create the PRs.

deployment from action no longer working :(

Deployment from github action no longer working due to bot permissions

steps to reproduce

Was using your repo as a template quite recently but none of the pushes triggered a valid deployment (even on pure verbatim copy from your repo and on a fully public version of my repo)

Upgrade Ruby Version

Hi there,
Recently, I switched to a new machine and wanted to prepare my system for running this project. I found that ruby 2.7.2 was too old and no longer supported.
I think it's better to upgrade ruby version of the project to 3.x.x if possible.
