A new release of Jekyllpress

I’ve put out a new release of Jekyllpress, my Thor script to help create new jekyll posts and pages.

To Install

Command line install:

$ gem install jekyllpress

New features

  • –url switch, lets you specify a url to be placed into the template. ERB variable @url.

  • –layout switch, lets you specify a different layout.

  • –template switch, lets you specify a different document template.

  • @filename variable that can be used in the ERB part of a template.

Example used to generate this post:

Command line

    $ jekyllpress new_post 'A new release of Jekyllpress' -c jekyll \
    -t jekyllpress jekyll --layout=link --template=new_link.markdown \
    --url=https://github.com/tamouse/jekyllpress/releases/tag/v1.0.0

new_link.markdown template

It’s just frontmatter.
