Forked from GitLab's [Hexo](https://gitlab.com/pages/hexo) example with [Typing](https://github.com/geekplux/hexo-theme-typing) theme.

## Installation

1. Change `<folder>` to a preferred name.
```bash
git clone https://gitlab.com/curben/curben.gitlab.io <folder>
```
2. Install Node.js.
```bash
# Installing npm will also install nodejs as dependency.
# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install npm
# Fedora/Red Hat
sudo yum install npm
# Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S npm
```
3. Install Hexo and its dependencies (defined in [package.json](package.json)).
```bash
$ sudo npm install -g hexo-cli
$ cd <folder>
$ npm install
```
4. Generate static files to check for any error. You should _always_ do this before pushing/merging commits to the `master` branch.
```bash
$ hexo generate
```

## Quick Start

## Changes
The following are the major changes I made from the upstream.

### Hexo
- Update [.gitlab-ci.yml](.gitlab-ci.yml) to use the latest version of [Node.js](https://hub.docker.com/_/node/) in the Docker image.
- Update [package.json](package.json) to use latest version of [hexo](https://www.npmjs.com/package/hexo) and its related packages.
- Replace the bundled Landscape theme with Typing theme.

### Typing theme
- Homepage shows index of posts.
- Remove header and footer display (except for `/about` page).
- Use the latest version of [jQuery](https://jquery.com/download/), [fancyBox](https://github.com/fancyapps/fancyBox/releases) and [Font Awesome](https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/releases)
- All js and css files are self-hosted and [pre-compressed](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/pages/introduction.html#serving-compressed-assets).
- Remove analytic, comment system and donation links.
