Middleman & Twitter Bootstrap

Purpose

To be used as a starting point for precompiled static websites.

Usage

Note to novice programmers: the $ sign indicates a command prompt that's ready for input. Don't copy this symbol, just the code that follows it.

1. Grab the source code and put it in your-new-site-name folder. Replace this with a folder name that's meaningful to you.

   $ git clone git://github.com/ent-io/middleman-twitter_bootstrap.git your-new-site-name
   

2. Open your-new-site-name folder.

   $ cd your-new-site-name
   

3. Install the gem dependencies. You may need to prefix this with sudo depending on how you've installed ruby.

   $ bundle install
   

4. Run the Middleman server to view your content in your favorite browser at http://localhost:4567/

   $ bundle exec middleman server
   

5. When things look the way you want, compile the source code to static files for production deployment.

   $ bundle exec middleman build
   

Optional steps for mac users

1. Install Pow server on your mac.

   $ curl get.pow.cx | sh
   

2. Use powser or powder to add the your-new-site-name folder to Pow.

3. Make changes to the source and see them instantly in your browser at http://your-new-site-name.dev
