Julia Documents Things

This is documentation of various useful things I've figured out and will inevitably forget if I don't write them down.

Usage

Local setup:

bundle update
bundle install

Run locally:

bundle exec jekyll serve

If you want to speed up build times, try adding the --incremental flag, but be aware of its limitations:

bundle exec jekyll serve --incremental

Occasionally update your packages:

bundle update

Netlify builds from the master branch. (Previously, using GitHub pages would disable the last-modified plugin, but this is no longer used. So it should work on GitHub Pages, but I haven't tried it recently to confirm.)

Credits

This uses the very slick Just the Docs Jekyll theme.

Images are from unDraw, sometimes modified by me.

Things I want to add

• For long pages (in desktop view, at least), a running within-page table of contents along the right side
  • Also should involve smooth-scrolling between sections when you click on the links
  • And dynamically updating the TOC to show which section is currently active (possibly helpful)
• On the home page, add links to most recently posted & most recently updated pages

Notes

For Ruby 2.7 and Jekyll 3.8.5, you get a billion warnings printed to the console. Until Just The Docs supports Jekyll 4.0, run this instead of the above command:

bundle exec jekyll serve 2>/dev/null

If you encounter errors when trying to locally run the site, try deleting the vendor and _site directories, then reinstalling dependencies (as described above).
