GCRC 2014

Getting started

This site is built with Jekyll.

gem install bundler
bundle install

git clone git@github.com:GardenCityRuby/GCRC2014.git
cd GCRC2014
jekyll serve -w

Point your browser at localhost:4000

Adding a blog post

rake post["Post title"]

Edit the new file created in _posts

Adding a page

Edit _config.yml and add a link in the links section. Add a markdown(page.md) or an html(page.html) file in the root directory.

Deploying updates

Commit the changes locally and do:

git push origin master #This gets deployed to www.gardencityruby.org automatically

(Assuming origin to be the remote)

Deploying to Github Pages

git clone git@github.com:GardenCityRuby/GCRC2014.git --branch gh-pages _site

This clones the static site in gh-pages branch to _site directory. After changes are made,

jekyll build --config _config.yml,_config_github.yml
cd _site
git add --all && git commit -m "Update site"
git push --force

Continuous Deployment

The master branch of the site is continuously deployed using a Jenkins build script. This is what happens behind the scenes :

jekyll build --destination _deploy --config _config.yml,_config_deploy.yml
push contents of _deploy directory to remote storage
