xmonad-web: the website for the xmonad window manager

The website for xmonad.org.

Requirements

The website is built with Jekyll. Check their website to get started.

The tl;dr is the following:

1. Install ruby, ruby-dev(el) and bundler on your system. Depending on your distribution, bundler might not be packaged and may need to be installed manually via gem:

   $ gem install --user bundler
   

   Make sure to add the necessary directories to your $PATH!

2. Build the website with

   $ make
   

   This uses bundler to get all the necessary Jekyll extensions to replicate a GitHub Pages setup locally. The result will be in ./_site.

3. For an interactive editing session with live reloads in your browser, use

   $ make serve
   

   This serves a browsable local copy of the website—and your changes thereof—on http://127.0.0.1:4000.

Application Structures

All the .md files in the root (except for README.md) will be converted into html files. These go at the root of the website. The css directory has custom styles. Images should go in the images directory.

The videos that are linked in videos.html are hardcoded in the _data/videos.yml

The _site directory is a place for the Jekyll output.

Contributing

Contributions to the content as well as to the looks of the website are welcome! Please don't check the _site folder, as it will be overwritten while deploying the website. Check our contributing guidelines for information on rebasing and squashing commits.
