Project is built on top of Jekyll - simple, blog-aware, static site generator. Jekyll also happens to be the engine behind GitHub Pages, which means you can use Jekyll to host your website from GitHub’s servers for free. Learn more about Jekyll.
Check if you have all requirements for local environment. To install all development dependencies install Bundler.
gem install bundler
and run next command from root folder:
bundle install
To start Jekyll run:
jekyll serve -w
Site will be available at http://127.0.0.1:4000/ or http://localhost:4000/
NOTE: in this mode all changes to html and data files will be automatically regenerated, but after changing _config.yml
you have to restart server.
You can optimize images and minify css and javascript automatically (for now only on Windows).
But for Mac OS users available amazing tool - imageoptim. Thanks @raphaelsavina for link.
Optimize all images by running this script from /automation/images/
folder:
all_image_optimization.bat -d -jtran -pout -pquant -optip -gsicle -svgo
To minify CSS and JS run minify_js.bat
(for Windows) and minify_js.sh
