Prerequisites

Install Ruby and RubyGems: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/

Installation

The Siteleaf gem is available for installation on RubyGems. To install run:

gem install siteleaf

Note: the v2 gem only works with v2 sites. For documentation on v1 see: https://github.com/siteleaf/siteleaf-gem/tree/v1

If maintaining sites with multiple versions, we recommend using a Gemfile.

Using the CLI

Important: if using a Gemfile, make sure to prepend all commands with bundle exec (e.g. bundle exec siteleaf auth).

Authorize your account:

siteleaf auth

This will create an authorization file located at ~/.siteleaf.yml.

Alternatively, you can also use environment variables: SITELEAF_API_KEY=xxx SITELEAF_API_SECRET=yyy siteleaf command

You can also include use a .siteleaf.yml file in the root of your project:

---
api_key: xxx
api_secret: yyy
site_id: zzz

Set up a new site locally:

siteleaf new yoursite.com

This will create a new theme folder called yoursite.com in the directory where you ran this command. It will also create the site for you in your Siteleaf account. If you prefer not to create a new directory, run siteleaf new yoursite.com . instead.

Configure an existing site:

siteleaf config yoursite.com

Upload your files:

To upload your theme to Siteleaf, run the following command:

siteleaf push

Download your files:

To download your theme (or the default theme for new sites) from Siteleaf, run the following command:

siteleaf pull

Publish your site:

To publish your site changes to your hosting provider, run the following command:

siteleaf publish

Clean unused uploads:

To check for unused uploads and tidy up disk space (runs locally using The Silver Searcher if available):

siteleaf clean _uploads

For a full list of commands, run:

siteleaf help
