This application will generate jekyll based blog, which is hosted in github

Install

Install:

gem install mkblog

Create new project using your github id, for example you are github.com/sample

mkblog --generate sample # generate jekyll powered blog sample.github.com

Now you can see the blog localhost:4000 by running jekyll server locally

cd sample
jekyll --server

You can update the information to your personal data, to make it your own blog. I will tune this step to be better

Create ‘sample.github.com` under github.com/sample, and follow instruction to push.

Follow the github:pages guideline to put your own blog
