Getting Started

If you're a designer who avoids the terminal/command line at all costs and has no interest in opening it up, then this isn't really for you. Joke. Don't worry it's like two commands, you'll be fine.

1. Install Ruby on Rails. If you're on mac or windows just download RailsInstaller. That does all the hard work.

2. If you're using Apple do step 4, if not, then jump straight to step 5.

3. cd to your directory.

4. Install the SASS gem.

Annnnnnd, you're done. Dont forget to watch your SASS if you want to make changes.

5. Run 'bundle' and hit Enter.

6. Run 'jekyll serve --watch' or 'jekyll serve -w' to make changes to the html.

And I think that's it. Enjoy.

Running SASS

To watch your sass just run

$ sh watch.sh

If you files are in a different directory you'll have to edit watch.sh accordingly.

sass --watch [where your scss file is].scss:[where you want your css to go].css --style compressed

Using Chocolate Chip

1. Download & Install node.js. It's as simple as running an executable on Windows and Mac.

2. Install Gulp

    npm install -g gulp
   

3. cd into your directory and install all the dependencies

    npm install
   

4. Unfortunately you'll need two terminal/command line windows or tabs to get this going from here on

5. In one of the windows (to watch Jekyll) run

    jekyll serve --watch
   

6. In the second one (to watch for CSS and JS changes) run

    gulp watch
   

7. And that should be it. Let me know if you run into any issues
