To build the website locally, clone the repo with:
git clone https://github.com/ubdsgroup/ubdsgroup.github.io.git
Then install necessary Ruby dependencies by running bundle install from within the blotter directory. After this, the site can be be built with:
bundle exec jekyll build
(If you are getting errors at this stage, it may be due to your version of bundle. Try gem uninstall bundler + gem install bundler -v 1.13.1.)
To view the site, run bundle exec jekyll serve and point a browser to http://localhost:4000/. More information on Jekyll can be found here.
To include projects, preprocessing scripts are necessary to clone project repos and update Jekyll metadata. This can be accomplished with:
ruby _scripts/update-and-preprocess.rb
Then jekyll build works as normal.
