This is the repository for the RevBayes website.
The static version of this site is stored on branch master, while the source files are stored on branch source.
First, you should clone the source branch
git clone https://github.com/revbayes/revbayes.github.io
After first cloning this repository, you will be on the source branch. Then, you should clone the master branch into the _site directory.
cd revbayes.github.io
git clone -b master https://github.com/revbayes/revbayes.github.io _site
In order to build the site you will need jekyll, see instructions below to install.
When making changes to the site, you should always work on the source branch. After committing your changes to source, simply run the deploy.sh script. This script will take care of the steps involved to push both the source and master branches to github.
./deploy.sh
In order to build the site you will need to install jekyll.
To install jekyll and bundler (or update them):
gem install jekyll bundler
If you get a permission error, you can install the jekyll and bundler gems
in your home folder using:
export GEM_HOME=~/.gem
gem install jekyll bundler
NOTE: You may get errors here that you need to update ruby to install these gems.
If you are having trouble on MacOS with system ruby being out of date, you can install ruby via homebrew with brew install ruby. Then you need to add the homebrew version of ruby to your path by adding:
export PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.7.1_2/bin/:$PATH"
to your .bash_profile file. Then restart your terminal or source .bash_profile.
Next, move into the revbayes.github.io repo directory, and install required gems via:
bundle install
Now, you should be able to build and serve the static HTML with:
bundle exec jekyll serve
The previous command will cause a full rebuild of the site each time a file is modified. This can sometimes take a long time. You can selectively regenerate only modified files using the --incremental option
bundle exec jekyll serve --incremental
This will reduce regeneration times substantially. However, keep in mind that if you add new files, or modify _config.yml or any plugins, you will need to do a non-incremental rebuild.
If you get the error "invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII", this seems to fix it:
export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
