Setup

Hint: A quickstart devcontainer is down below.

To be able to build and run this project, Ruby 2.4 or higher is required. In addition, RubyGems, GCC and Make must be installed. See Jekyll Installation for further details.

One those prerequisites are set up, install all dependencies by running:

bundle install

Now, the following commands are available:

Jekyll will put the build output in the _site folder, while also keeping a cache in .jekyll-cache

Project

This project is structured the following way:

• Dependencies (e.g. theme, plugins) are defined in Gemfile and pinned by Gemfile.lock
• The Jekyll configuration (including configurations for theming and plugins) is defined in _config.yml
• Theme customizations (for the "Just the Docs" theme) are placed in
  • the _includes folder for custom HTML templates
  • the _sass folder for custom SASS styling

All other folders containing markdown files and assets are the actual site content. Sites that exist in multiple languages can be placed right next to each other (e.g. index.de.md and index.en.md), and assets (such as images) can be placed right next to the pages using them.
