Welcome to Jekyll!

You’ll find this post in your _posts directory. Go ahead and edit it and re-build the site to see your changes. You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run jekyll serve, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated.

To add new posts, simply add a file in the _posts directory that follows the convention YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.ext and includes the necessary front matter. Take a look at the source for this post to get an idea about how it works.

Jekyll also offers powerful support for code snippets:

def print_hi(name)
  puts "Hi, #{name}"
end
print_hi('Tom')
#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.

package main

import (
   "fmt"
)

// This is a comment!
const theImportantValue = "this is a string"

type Foo struct {
    X int    `json:"-"`
    Y string `json:"y"`
    Z bool   `json:"z"`
}

func main() {
    fmt.Printf("This is a test of %d.", 6)
}
