How I built my own blog without much coding

1. pages-gem

   1 613 1,847 5.0 Ruby

   A simple Ruby Gem to bootstrap dependencies for setting up and maintaining a local Jekyll environment in sync with GitHub Pages

   

   gem or RubyGems is a package manager for Ruby, just like how we have npm, pip and cargo for Node, Python and Rust. Jekyll must be downloaded as a gem package, so we use gem command to do that. But for building the website locally we need lot of other tools, github-pages gem provides these tools for us, jekyll is also packaged along with github-pages. Therefore you need to install only github-pages gem.

   Going further in this post, I will be explaining how each of these requirements was satisfied. After exploration and quick googling I found this tool called jekyll, to my surprise, it more of less supported all my requirements (with some additions).
