New blog command and some style updates
I love Github. The more I use it, the more I love it. As a form of endearment, I’ve updated the style of this blog to look a little more like Github than default Octopress. Simple, clean, fun.
I’ve also been looking for a quicker way to blog on a whim, and having to switch into my octopress directory, and then type new_post["title of my post"] was still just two steps too much. So I pulled up my .bash_profile and started scripting. Here’s what I came up with:
Add this to your .bash_profile
function blog() {
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo "Usage: blog \"post title\""
return 1
fi
cd ~/Sites/jeradbitner.com
rake new_post["$1"]
mate .
}
