Getting Started

Fork this repository and clone it down to your computer. Create a new branch that describes what you're working on. Then, run bundle install and npm install to make sure you have all the gems and packages you need.

We built this site using Jekyll and it's hosted via GitHub pages. We used Ruby with Bundler on the initial build and have since added NodeJS. We've included dot files that support multiple version managers (.npmrc, .node-version, .ruby-version, .tool-versions) for your convenience.

Tool Versioning

• Ruby 2.7.4
• Bundler 2.1.4
• NodeJS 16.1.0
• npm 7.11.2

Useful Commands

To run the website locally, type npm run preview in your terminal and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:4000/ to see the site in your browser. A reload will be triggered every time you change the code in you editor.

We have also implemented some tools that check the files for syntax issues and autocorrect them whenever possible. These are called linters and they will automatically check any files you have staged for a commit.

You will not be able to successfully commit your work until all errors are cleared.
