Streamline your writing in Jekyll with some commands.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'jekyll-compose', group: [:jekyll_plugins]
And then execute:
$ bundle
After you have installed (see above), run bundle exec jekyll help
and you should see:
Listed in help you will see new commands available to you:
draft # Creates a new draft post with the given NAME
post # Creates a new post with the given NAME
publish # Moves a draft into the _posts directory and sets the date
unpublish # Moves a post back into the _drafts directory
page # Creates a new page with the given NAME
Create your new page using:
$ bundle exec jekyll page "My New Page"
Create your new post using:
$ bundle exec jekyll post "My New Post"
Create your new draft using:
$ bundle exec jekyll draft "My new draft"
Publish your draft using:
$ bundle exec jekyll publish _drafts/my-new-draft.md
# or specify a specific date on which to publish it
$ bundle exec jekyll publish _drafts/my-new-draft.md --date 2014-01-24
Unpublish your post using:
$ bundle exec jekyll unpublish _posts/2014-01-24-my-new-draft.md
To customize the default plugin configuration edit the jekyll_compose
section within your jekyll config file.
jekyll_compose:
auto_open: true
and make sure that you have EDITOR
, VISUAL
or JEKYLL_EDITOR
environment variable set.
For instance if you wish to open newly created Jekyll posts and drafts in Atom editor you can add the following line in your shell configuration:
export JEKYLL_EDITOR=atom
JEKYLL_EDITOR
will override default EDITOR
or VISUAL
value.
VISUAL
will override default EDITOR
value.
If you wish to add default front matter to newly created posts or drafts, you can specify as many as you want under default_front_matter
config keys, for instance:
jekyll_compose:
default_front_matter:
drafts:
description:
image:
category:
tags:
posts:
description:
image:
category:
tags:
published: false
sitemap: false

When submitting a pull request that uses code from an unmerged pull request, please be aware of the following:
- Changes proposed in the older pull request is still the original author's property. Moving forward from where they left it
means that you're a
co-author
. - GitHub allows attributing credit to multiple authors However, pull requests in this project are automatically squashed and then merged onto the base branch. So, only authors and co-authors of the opening commit gets credit once the pull request gets merged.
- If the original pull request contained multiple commits, you may squash them into a single commit but ensure that you list any additional authors (and yourselves) as co-authors of that commit.
- Use appropriate keywords in your pull request post to link to the existing pull request or issue-ticket so that they're automatically closed when your pull request gets merged.
