Building the project

When making changes to any SCSS files, you will need to rebuild the project:

npm run css:dev

Alternatively, you can watch for changes while developing:

npm run watch:css

Note: This will only compile and autoprefix the CSS, not minify it. This is mainly done for speed during development

Running locally

• Install nvm (Node Version Manager) using the directions at https://github.com/creationix/nvm#installation
• nvm use
• npm install
• npm run watch:css
• Run a local server in the public/ directory

Whenever you enter this repo's directory, you should always run nvm use before doing anything, so that you use our sanctioned version of Node.

Deploying to Github Pages

We use the gh-pages npm module to manage deployment to Github Pages

1. First make sure public/index.html is referencing the minified CSS file
2. npm run css:prod
3. Add and commit your local changes (make sure you also commit the minified CSS file)
4. npm run deploy

This will prepare all SCSS for production and publish only the contents of the public/ folder to the gh-pages branch

NOTE: Don't delete the CNAME file. WIthout it the custom domain on Github Pages breaks. ANy time the domain needs to be changed, it should be changed manually in the CNAME file
