We built this site using Jekyll and it's hosted via GitHub pages. We used Ruby with Bundler on the initial build and have since added NodeJS. We've included dot files that support multiple version managers (.npmrc, .node-version, .ruby-version, .tool-versions) for your convenience.
- Ruby 2.7.4
- Bundler 2.1.4
- NodeJS 16.1.0
- npm 7.11.2
To run the website locally, type npm run preview in your terminal and navigate to
http://127.0.0.1:4000/ to see the site in your browser. A reload will be
triggered every time you change the code in you editor.
We have also implemented some tools that check the files for syntax issues and autocorrect them whenever possible. These are called linters and they will automatically check any files you have staged for a commit.
You will not be able to successfully commit your work until all errors are cleared.
Please see our Ruby for Good Website Wiki to learn more about the project! Content will be continually added there. Also, keep an eye out for project boards in the future!
