About this repository

Here you can find the source code that drives the site.

The site is made with Jekyll and rake for automation awesomeness.

How to build/test the site

1. You will need Ruby 2.1.2

2. Install Bundler

gem install bundler

3. Install the required gems (Ruby libraries needed)

bundle install

4. Test the site:

• Run the jekyll server locally with rake serve in your console (Ctrl + C to stop it)
• Open http://localhost:4000 in your browser
• And enjoy!

5. Build the site for deployment

rake

6. Deploy the site somewhere via FTP (the poor man's way)

• You will need access to an FTP server
• Create a configuration.yaml

rake setup

or by copying the configuration.example.yaml file by hand

• Open configuration.yaml in an editor and put your FTP credentials (don't worry it is git ignored).
• Run

  rake production deploy

• And you are done!
• If something goes wrong, you can always do it by hand: Just FTP-upload the contents of the _deploy folder to the proper location on your web server.

7. Explore what else you can do with rake tasks (clean, show, copy and deploy presentations, etc)
