Question 1

How do I add multiple JavaScript files in generator-jekyllized?

Accepted Answer

You can duplicate the scripts gulp task, rename it to 'scripts:vendor', modify the gulp.src to include external libraries, and update the assets task to include it. This creates separate vendor and main JS files that are automatically injected.

Question 2

Is generator-jekyllized better than using Jekyll alone?

Accepted Answer

Generator-jekyllized adds Gulp-based automation for live reloading, asset optimization, and deployment, saving setup time. However, if you prefer full control or use different tools, vanilla Jekyll might be more flexible.

Question 3

How to deploy to GitHub Pages with a master branch using generator-jekyllized?

Accepted Answer

Uncomment the 'branch' line in the gulp task and set it to 'master' instead of the default 'gh-pages'. This is required for personal GitHub Pages sites, while project pages use gh-pages.

Question 4

What happens if I update generator-jekyllized and it overwrites my changes?

Accepted Answer

The update command shows a diff before overwriting files, but it can replace custom modifications to gulp tasks and package.json. Always back up these files first to avoid losing work.

Question 5

Can I use Stylus or LESS with generator-jekyllized?

Accepted Answer

No, the generator is opinionated and only supports SCSS. The README states the creator has no plans to add other preprocessors, so you'd need to fork or manually adjust the setup.

Question 6

Is generator-jekyllized still actively maintained?

Accepted Answer

As of the README, the creator is looking for a co-maintainer and no longer uses Jekyll, so maintenance is uncertain. Check the GitHub repo for recent commits or community forks for updates.
