Building

Install all dependencies:

1. Follow Jekyll install steps on https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/.
2. Run gem install bundler.
3. Run bundle add jekyll.
4. Clone repository.
5. Run bundle install in the cloned repository directory.
6. Run gem update.

These commands may take a while to execute, but they're one-time installation. Once all is installed, run bundle exec jekyll serve in cloned repository directory to run the website locally.
The website will be then available on http://localhost:4000.

If you get permission denied error, ensure your antivirus is not blocking ruby.exe.

Maintenance

To update dependencies, run bundle update in the cloned repository, and then run steps 5 to 6 once again. Commit changes if everything is working correctly.

Theme

This website uses a heavily modified devlopr jekyll theme - but the modifications are quite significant. They include, but are not limited to:

• Removed blog entries from homepage;
• Support for multiple members (theme was designed for a single author - it was changed later, but was not present in the theme when this website was created);
• Added "cards" system for both game and member pages, to improve reusability;
• Removed light theme (2 themes are more effort to maintain);
• Completely changed gallery style (while the theme itself is pretty nice, gallery style was so basic so even my backend programmer self didn't like it - TehGM)
• Massively refactored underlying code and data structures to make it much more maintainable (the theme is nice, but it's clear that the author isn't a backend programmer - code was messy and contained tons of duplicates).
