- here you want to merge you PR's
- important files:
  - content/ - source of all articles written in markdown
  - src/ - Gatsby website theme (React.js)
  - public/ - temporary project built (git-ignored by default)
deploy branch

💻 Local development

Alternative for using GitPod described in Online development section.

Prerequisites 🔒

I suggest to install and use Node Version Manager in order to get proper Node.js version. Alternatively you can manually get and install Node.js 10.x (recommended). In this case just skip nvm use . command in the next section.

Setting up 🛠️

Execute in the console:

git clone git@github.com:zentala/eu.zentala.io.git
cd ue.zentala.io/
nvm use .
npm install
npm run start

After a while local server should be running under http://localhost:8000/.
