Building locally

When building Hydejack it is important to set the environment variable JEKYLL_ENV to production. Otherwise the output will not be minified. Building itself happens via Jekyll's build command.

$ JEKYLL_ENV=production bundle exec jekyll build

This will generate the finished static files in _site, which can be deployed using the methods outlined in the Jekyll Documentation.

Building locally with latent semantic analysis

By default, related posts are simply the most recent posts. Hydejack modifies this a bit, by showing the most recent posts of the same category or tag. However, the results are still pretty "unrelated". To provide better results, Jekyll supports latent semantic analysis via classifier-reborn's Latent Semantic Indexer

To use the LSI, you first have to disable Hydejack's default behavior, by setting use_lsi: true under the hydejack key in your config file.

# file: `_config.yml`
hydejack:
  use_lsi: true

Then, you have to run jekyll build with the --lsi flag:

$ JEKYLL_ENV=production bundle exec jekyll build --lsi

Note that this may take a long time. Once it is finished, the generated static files will be located in the _site directory, which can be deployed using the methods outlined in the Jekyll Documentation.

GitHub Pages

If you're using the Starter Kit for GitHub pages, all you have to do is push your repository:

$ git add .
$ git commit "Update"
$ git push origin master
