This is a clone of the Octopress static site generator including a script functionality, which maintainers can use to publish Theme-Space theme previews. A short summary article about the Theme-Space concept can be seen over at Chymeric Tutorials.
Theme maintainers can publish an up-to-date standard-content preview of their theme by simply running the following from within a local clone of our repository:
git clean -f -d
./script/setup <theme-author-account> <theme-name>
rake install[<theme-name>]
rake gen_deploy
####It is important to note that:
- This currently only works with themes hosted on GitHub.
- To publish a preview, the theme in question needs first be cloned on Themespace as
themespace/<theme-name>. - To publish to Themespace (the
rake gen_deploypart) you need to have push access to our theme clone.
We are happy to assist maintainers with the latter two points, and we liberally accord push access to theme authors.
When creating a new theme preview - by running script/setup <theme-author-account> <theme-name> - the following files are modified:
-
public_dir: public/<theme-name> deploy_branch: gh-pages deploy_default: push deploy_dir: _deploy_<theme-name> -
http_path: /<theme-name>/ http_images_path: /<theme-name>/images http_fonts_path: /<theme-name>/fonts css_dir: public/<theme-name>/stylesheets -
destination: public/<theme-name> subscribe_rss: /<theme-name>/atom.xml root: /<theme-name> url: http://themespace.github.io/<theme-name> author: Themespace github_user: themespace
Previews are deployed to the gh-pages branches of our respective theme repository clones (e.g. github.com/themespace/<theme-name>).
