Getting Started

To ensure whatever you create/change appears as faithfully as possible after pushing to the main repository, install the version of Ruby and the gems used by Github. See a list here.

Installation Instructions (updt. Nov. 2023)

Following the instructions from: https://github.com/BillRaymond/install-jekyll-apple-silicon/blob/main/README.md

brew install ruby@3.0
  1. Add path to ruby3.0 in .bashrc (or .bash_provile)

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/ruby@3.0/bin/:$PATH"

  1. Restart your terminal and make sure you are now using ruby3.0
ruby -v
  1. Install Jekyll and Bundler
gem install --user-install bundler jekyll
  1. Add the path to the gems to in .bashrc (or .bash_provile)

  1. Adapt the settings in _config.yml accordingly In order for links to properly work, the url setting in must be set accordingly, otherwise you will be redirected to the live version. This sets all the site.url variable calls throughout _layouts/, _includes/, etc.
url: "" # Empty string will render the page successfully locally. Do not commit it to the main repository!
incremental: true # This will be disabled by Github, but is useful for testing changes locally!

Running the website locally

To preview changes, which you should always do before committing anything or making any pull requests, run the web server locally using the following:

    $ bundle exec jekyll serve
