Jekyll quickstart with docker-compose

Requirements

docker and docker-compose.

Local development

From the project root run docker-compose up. This should build the site and serve it at http://localhost:4000. It can take some time - wait until you see

site_1  |     Server address: http://0.0.0.0:4000
site_1  |   Server running... press ctrl-c to stop.

It seems to automatically rebuild the site on changes to the source. To stop the server just press Ctrl+C on the docker compose output.

Example page for styling

If you navigate to /styleguide there's an example page for testing styling. Update it as you see fit.

Troubleshooting

If you get the following message either set the origin remote to GitHub or follow the instructions in the message.

site_1  |    GitHub Metadata: Error processing value 'title':
site_1  |   Liquid Exception: No repo name found. Specify using PAGES_REPO_NWO environment variables, 'repository' in your configuration, or set up an 'origin' git remote pointing to your github.com repository. in /_layouts/default.html
site_1  |              ERROR: YOUR SITE COULD NOT BE BUILT:
site_1  |                     ------------------------------------
site_1  |                     No repo name found. Specify using PAGES_REPO_NWO environment variables, 'repository' in your configuration, or set up an 'origin' git remote pointing to your github.com repository.

Releases

There's a release script that will automatically create a squashed commit of changes into the local releases branch. It must be run from the project root.

scripts/release.sh

Note that on GitHub, the file README.github.md will be moved over README.md.
