https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/ To add new posts, simply add a file in the _posts directory that follows the convention YYYY-MM-DD-name-of-post.ext and includes the necessary front matter.

2. Work with Jekyll:

1) Commands to use:

ruby --version
gem install bundler
bundle install --force
bundle info "github-pages"
bundle info "jekyll-remote-theme"
bundle exec jekyll serve
To update::
If you followed our setup recommendations and installed Bundler, run bundle update github-pages or simply bundle update and all your gems will update to the latest versions.
If you don't have Bundler installed, run gem update github-pages

2) Jekyll also offers powerful support for code snippets:

def print_hi(name)
  puts "Hi, #{name}"
end
print_hi('Tom')
#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.
