This is a skeleton repo containing the CFPB/DOCter-based Jekyll template for 18F Guides.
You will need Ruby ( > version 2.1.5 ). You may consider using a Ruby version manager such as rbenv or rvm to help ensure that Ruby version upgrades don't mean all your gems will need to be rebuilt.
On OS X, you can use Homebrew to install Ruby in
/usr/local/bin, which may require you to update your $PATH environment
variable:
$ brew update
$ brew install rubyTo create a new guide and serve it locally, where MY-NEW-GUIDE is the name
of your new repository:
$ git clone [email protected]:18F/guides-template.git MY-NEW-GUIDE
$ cd MY-NEW-GUIDE
$ ./go init
$ ./go serveThis will check that your Ruby version is supported, install the Bundler
gem if it is not yet installed, install all the gems
needed by the template, and launch a running instance on
http://localhost:4000/guide/. (Make sure to include the trailing slash! The built-in
Jekyll webserver doesn't redirect to it.) That page contains further
instructions on how to adapt the template to a new guide repository.
After going through these steps, run ./go to see a list of available
commands. The serve command is the most common for routine development.
