jxx123.github.io

Personal website for Jinyu Xie, built with plain Jekyll.

Prerequisites

• Ruby 3.0+ (macOS ships with 2.6; install a newer version via Homebrew)

  brew install ruby

  Then add Homebrew Ruby to your PATH (add to ~/.zshrc to persist):

  export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/ruby/bin:/opt/homebrew/lib/ruby/gems/4.0.0/bin:$PATH"

Install

bundle install

Local Development

bundle exec jekyll serve

Then open http://127.0.0.1:4000.

The site auto-regenerates on file changes — just refresh the browser.

Project Structure
