Fixed Jekyll-Bootstrap Asset Path

| Comments | ∞

Background

As I’ve said in Jekyll Blog Page Build Warning, GitHub Pages have upgraded to 3.0.

Problem

The Twitter theme for every post in Blog 2 was gone, but the home page and the archive page still looked good.

I viewed Jekyll-Bootstrap’s issue list. The “{{ ASSET_PATH }}” in the title of issue #295 caught my eyes. Feeling that changing _config.yml is too troublesome and prone to error, I clicked some links for related web pages, such as a relevant page in Jekyll’s documentation, but I didn’t know what to do.

Solution

It turns out that this issue is the same as issue #290. The status of this issue is closed because some ways of fixing the problem have been shared. Since qh’s fix has received positive comments, I adopt his approach.

Before learning more Git commands this summer, I would change this manually. However, fearing that I would make a typo, I seek an automatic way to apply the changes in _includes/JB/setup.

I searched “git apply patch” on Google, and reached this Stack Overflow question eventually. The command

$ curl https://github.com/JustinTulloss/zeromq.node/pull/47.patch > /tmp/47.patch

gave me a file (without EOF) in /tmp.

<html><body>You are being <a href="https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/JustinTulloss/zeromq.node/pull/47.patch">redirected</a>.</body></html>

I then tried using git apply.

[owner@localhost ~/blog2]$ git apply --stat /tmp/47.patch
fatal: unrecognized input

Even though I added the --stat option, the bash still said that it’s fatal. I tried googling “git apply fatal”, but I couldn’t see anything useful. The third answer to this Stack Overflow question cleared my doubts: by comparing the date of the answers, one knows that patch-diff.githubusercontent.com should be used instead.

Since the reputation of the owner of the second answer is higher, not having enough time to check their differences, I used git am instead of git apply --check. Finally, everything went smooth and the git push was successful. Originally, I intended to leave a short Git comment message with a few helpful links. However, everything went so good that I didn’t have the chance to do that in the Git repository for Blog 2. Therefore, I recorded my thoughts here.
