As you may have noticed, the blog looks different (again). This is because I have moved from Wordpress back to Ghost using their GhostPro offering.
One of the things I like about Ghost is the default theme, Casper . While I wanted to keep it there were a few things I wanted to tweak, such as removing the full page header image on main index.
When I have previously used Ghost I have forked the theme on GitHub and then manually messed about getting any updates from the original code in.
This time I decided that I should try and make a proper job of it, this would mean;
- Fork the theme as before
- Add the original repo as a remote upstream
- Make my changes and commit away as normal
- Whenever there is an update to “official” version of Casper, fetch the upstream and rebase.
The initial part was easy enough, I forked the code and added the remote upstream;
This should allow me to run the following commands when there was an update to Casper;
I noticed today that there was an update made to the theme so I tried my first rebase;
It worked :D. Will be interesting to see what happens when there is a bigger update to the original.
