This site was built with Jekyll—a static site generator. Props to Jon Suh for initial site architecture and Readme creation.

Requirements

• Jekyll—see the official documentation for requirements for installing Jekyll.
• Node

Development

The following are instructions for compiling and developing the site. For more about Jekyll, read the official Quick-start guide.

1. Clone the project and cd into the directory.
2. Run npm install && bundle to install dependencies.

HTML

• Most of the markup lives in index.html.
• index.html relies on the default layout file, _layouts/default.html.

CSS

• CSS is compiled via Sass in the SCSS syntax—Jekyll comes with Sass support.
• Files are located in assets/css—assets/css/site.scss is the manifest.

JS

• JS files are in assets/js.

Compiling

• bundle exec jekyll build performs a compile of the site.
• The production-ready files are generated in the _site directory.

Development Environment

• bundle exec jekyll serve creates a local development environment—point your browser to http://localhost:4000.

I included some niceties if you’d like some extra, development-friendly tools. This requires:

• Gulp

The following are commands that you may find helpful:

• npm run watch: run development environment—point your browser to http://localhost:3000. This includes CSS hot-reloading—see CSS changes instantly without reloading the browser.
• npm run dist: creates production-ready files—_site directory—which includes compressing CSS and uglifying JS.
