Simple how-to

This plugin is designed to generate paginated categories for your jekyll project. If you’ve added categories to the YAML front matter for your posts, the only files you should need to change are your _config.yml and index.html files.

Change these files as indicated below, then build your project. A set of paginated category pages will be generated in your _site folder, in the folder you specify in category_dir. The structure of these will be based on your index.html file, and the page.title for each will be the name of the category. These will then be accessible at e.g. /categories/mycategory.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake false to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
