## Basic Setup for a new Jekyll site

2. Fork the [Minimal Mistakes repo](http://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes/)
|
||||
3. Clone the repo you just forked to your computer.
|

1. [Install Bundler](http://bundler.io) `gem install bundler` and then install [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com) and all dependencies `bundle install`.

2. Fork the [Minimal Mistakes repo](http://github.com/mmistakes/minimal-mistakes/fork).
|
||||
3. Clone the repo you just forked and rename it.
|
||||
4. Edit `_config.yml` to personalize your site.
|
||||
5. Check out the sample posts in `_posts` to see examples for pulling in large feature images, tags, and other YAML data.

**Pro-tip:** Delete the `gh-pages` branch after cloning and start fresh by branching off `master`. There is a bunch of garbage in `gh-pages` used for the theme's demo site that I'm guessing you don't want on your site.

### Adding Posts and Pages
|
||||
|
||||
There are two main content layouts: *post.html* (for posts) and *page.html* (for pages). Both have large **feature images** that span the full-width of the screen, and both are meant for long form articles and blog posts.

|
||||
|
||||
There are two rake tasks that can be used to create a new post or page with all YAML Front Matter. Using either `rake new_post` or `rake new_page` will prompt you for a title and tags to classify them. Example below:
|
||||
|
||||
{% highlight bash %}
|
||||
rake new_post
|
||||
|
||||
Enter a title for your post: My Awesome Post
|
||||
Enter tags to classify your post (comma separated): web development, code
|
||||
Creating new post: _posts/2014-02-10-my-awesome-post.md
|
||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
||||
|
||||
There are a few configuration variables that can be changed in `Rakefile.rb`. By default posts and pages will be created in MarkDown using the `.md` extension.
