Now that i have been using windows regularly thought of moving over the setup to my windows desktop. I was initially skeptical about how octopress and ruby will pan out. Here are my setup steps:
- install git
- install github for windows (makes ssh key management easier)
- install ruby & ruby devkit
gem install bundler
- copied over my blog directory from linux box (for new users it would be installing octopress)
bundle install
in blog directoryrake new_post["post title"]
rake generate
rake deploy
- this will populate _deploy directory
Extra:
Ideally rake deploy
should work out just fine otherwise you could always push generate site thru github for desktop.
To get rake deploy
working start git shell
installed with github for desktop. This should launch a powershell window.
test out connection to github from gitshell
