Welcome to github-blog 👋

A blog system that uses Github Issues

🏠 Homepage

TURKÇE

The usual blog system. Except, all the backend is connected to Github. All blog posts are linked to the issues of a repo that you want.

Installation

Download the repo to your file system

$ git clone https://github.com/bufgix/github-blog && cd github-blog

Install the required dependencies

$ yarn
# or
$ npm install

then come to config.js and write your information

export default {
  // Github username
  username: "bufgix",
  // Repo name where you will write your blogs
  repoName: "bufgix.github.io",
  // If you want, you can automatically add a CV that based
  // on your github profile. It will appear on the homepage
  useGithubCv: true
};

Github-blog uses Github API V4, which uses graphql to pull data. That's why Github access token is needed. Create a token and give the following permissions

• read:user
• user:email
• user:follow

Copy the token and paste it into a .env file as follows

GITHUB_TOKEN=0f49a4540d7efc7272533bc5ba23243da8de8ecd

Then to run your blog locally

yarn dev
# or
npm run dev

Publising Your Blog

I use zeit.co, which is both easy and free. Download Now CLI to upload your blog to zeit. Then add the github token to the Now CLI

$ now secrets add GITHUB_TOKEN <YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN>

Publish your application with this command

$ now deploy

After setting your project name, you can follow the application from zeit.co.

Publishing Articles

Submit a issue to the issues section of the repo that you specified in config.json. Then create a label named Blog and add it to your issue. Please note that issues without blog tag will not be shown. You can also create other tags and show what your post is about.

I inspired the project from this repo. Although basically doing the same, I made the project write with Next.js to be SEO friendly
