Reproducible Dev Environment (Nix + devenv)

If you use Nix, this repo includes a pinned dev shell:

nix develop --no-pure-eval
devenv run setup
devenv run serve

Optional with direnv:

direnv allow
devenv run setup
devenv run serve

Note: devenv with flakes needs --no-pure-eval when using nix develop directly.

Content Editing

• Posts live in _posts/ and follow YYYY-MM-DD-title.md.
• Main styles are in assets/css/main.css.
• Layouts are in _layouts/.

Notes

• url is set to https://devin.fitzsky.com in _config.yml.
• baseurl is intentionally empty for root-domain hosting.
• Ruby 2.6 will fail dependency resolution for current github-pages gems.
• Ruby 4.x is currently incompatible with github-pages (commonmarker requires Ruby < 4.0), so this repo pins Ruby 3.4.8.
• Current pinned versions: Ruby 3.4.8 (latest compatible with github-pages), github-pages gem 232, webrick 1.9.2.
