Tasks completed

  1. Codespaces setup Created a new Codespace for the repository and verified available tools (jekyll, ruby, node, npm). Tested local Jekyll run (bundle exec jekyll serve) and confirmed the environment works correctly.

  2. Testing GitHub integration Performed a test commit and push from Codespaces to GitHub. Verified that the GitHub Pages workflow builds the site after pushing changes.

  3. Adding a new post Created a new post file in the _posts folder, filled metadata and content. Tested locally to confirm the post appears on the site, then pushed the changes to GitHub.

  4. Verification on GitHub Pages After pushing, checked the build status on GitHub Pages and verified the new post is visible on the production site.

Conclusions

  • Codespaces significantly simplifies working with Jekyll and automates parts of the deployment process.
  • Integration with GitHub Pages works smoothly; the workflow is fast and predictable.
  • Creating posts and testing changes locally before pushing helps avoid mistakes.
