Develop

Aviator was built with Jekyll version 3.1.6, but should support newer versions as well.

$ bundle install

Run jekyll commands through Bundler to ensure you're using the right versions:

$ bundle exec jekyll serve

Editing

Aviator is already optimised for adding, updating and removing documentation pages in CloudCannon.

Usage

• Each section is a different collection, this helps organise your content.
• Set the order of the collections with the position field in collection configuration in _config.yml.
• Set the order of the documents inside a collection by setting the position in front matter.

Search

• Add excluded_in_search: true to any documentation page's front matter to exclude that page in the search results.
