Following this blog it is straightforward to set up the jekyll site. The only problem I encountered is that XCode automatically jumps up to try to open the .md file. This was resolved by going into system preferences > default apps, and set the default app for .md, .r, .Rmd to RStudio rather than XCode.

Next questions:

  • [ ] how do I push this to my github site?

  • [ ] can I point my own URL to the github.io page?
