Dev Setup

The site uses jekyll a simple and popular static website generator which can be hosted via github pages. You can quickly start developing by pushing your code to the gh-pages branch of your repo. Then go to the Settings tab of your GitHub account, scroll down to the GitHub Pages section and choose gh-pages as source. But this will need you to push the code to gh-pages everytime you wish to test out a change.

We recommend doing development in offline. For that you need ruby to be installed in your local since jekyll is a ruby gem. Follow these steps for installation in local.

1. Install Ruby 3.1.6 as per this installation guide. For Linux, Mac OSX it's preferable to use RVM and for Windows you can use RubyInstaller
2. Run gem install bundler jekyll. This install bundler and jekyll.
3. Run bundle install
4. Run bundle exec jekyll serve to start the server
5. Site is up and running! Go to localhost:4000
