About

This is basically your average Jekyll install with some html, markdown and Sass hackery.

I added some grunt tasks to save the latest git commit revision number and minify what little CSS there is. With this I can link to each revision on Github from the site footer. and to minify the generated CSS.

I deploy it to AWS S3 and handle AWS Cloudfront using the awesome s3_website gem.

• The above s3 gem is outdated. Last time I had to do the S3 upload and Cloudfront invalidation manually.

Development Environment

To start development just launch Jekyll from the command line.

 cd {project_root}
 cd site
 jekyll serve

Saving Changes

Commit the changes in GIT and run the gulp tasks to save the git revision hash and minimise the CSS.

git commit -a
cd ../
grunt default
grunt saveRevision
cd site
jekyll build

Deploying the changes

git push origin master

# manually upload files to s3 and create a new invalidation (i.e. /*.html for just HTML files) in Cloudfront.
