How to run Rocket.Chat Docs locally:

This is a quick guide on how to run the docs site locally, for a more in depth guide please look here

• Install ruby (version 2.6 or higher recommended, if using any version prior to 2.5 you will need to install bundler with gem install bundler). If the above fails, try specifing the version by runnning gem install bundler -v [VERSION] as per the BUNDLED WITH [VERSION] definition in Gemfile.lock file.
• This step is for only macOS users:
  • You will need to have either xcode or the xcode command line tools installed. To install the command tools use xcode-select --install. Don't forget to accept the sudo xcodebuild -license command.
  • Depending on your setup you might need to install nokogiri and its dependencies manually.
• Fork the https://github.com/RocketChat/docs repository.
• Clone your forked repository to your local enviroment.
• Run cd docs/to enter the cloned docs folder.
• Run bundle install.
• Start the server with bundle exec "jekyll serve --incremental --safe".

Linting your changes locally:

You should always lint your changes to find errors locally before pushing your changes. This only takes seconds, from the docs directory:

bundle exec "mdl ./ -r ~MD004 -i -g"
