Display GitHub repositories on Jekyll

Update:

2017/09/14: Updated for using with vanilla Jekyll. Previous version here

This website is mostly meant to present my personnal work and projects, which are stored on GitHub. That’s why I wanted to display the last GitHub repositories I’ve worked on.

To do that, I’ve decided to use jQuery to make an AJAX call to the GitHub API, and display the result on my home page.

Use Flattr with WordPress 3.5.1

Deprecated

Flattr is a “social micro-payment system”, that allows you to make online payments, when you like an article, a blog, a project…

I’ve decided to add it to my personnal websites, both the Jekyll site and my Wordpress blog.

Auto-upload Jekyll after pushing to GitHub

My Jekyll site is hosted on a shared web hosting service, provided by OVH. It’s the most basic service, which consists of a PHP server, a MySql database, and that’s about it. The only way to change the files on the server is to access it via FTP, as there is no SSH connection available.

So, with the concept of Jekyll, which is to generate static HTML files and use them for the final web site, the only option I had was to manually upload the _site folder each time I made some changes in the source code. And this after pushing my changes to GitHub (the sources and generated files are stored in a public GitHub repository).

RGResponsive

Deprecated

I’ve decided to create my own Wordpress theme, RGResponsive.

You can find the sources for this theme on GitHub, and see it in action on my blog.

You can follow the development and post comments on this page.

PFP - A tiny PHP application framework

In my free time, I often work on small personal PHP projects. This allows me to keep in touch with the new technologies, frameworks,… For instance, I’ve recently started using Bootstrap to create well presented web-applications.

My issue was that, each time I started a new project, I had to re-create the skeleton for the application. This basically meant copying an old project, remove everything specific, clean all the configuration values,… before I could start working. That’s why I decided to create an independant project, which I could use as a skeleton for almost all my PHP applications.
