Development

To run the development server, there is a couple of dependencies that needs to be resolved. Ruby 2.2.2< is needed to install all dependencies, and the Bundler needs to be installed.

To install dependencies, run

bundle install

To run the development server with live reload, the following commands need to be executed:

$ bundle exec guard
$ jekyll serve --host=0.0.0.0 --watch

• Guard will handle the live reloading of the page.
• The --host argument will allow the site to be accessed with other devices on the local network.
• The --watch argument will rebuild the site whenever the source files change.

This can be shortcut with tmux to be:

tmux split-window "bundle exec guard" && jekyll serve --host=0.0.0.0 --watch

Build for production

This step has now been automated by Jekyll.

JEKYLL_ENV=production jekyll build

Will create the site under the _site/ directory. Running this in the source branch, checking out master, and copying/overwriting the folders contents, then committing and pushing the contents to the master branch will deploy the site.
