Cevi Tools Webpage

This repo contains the content of the cevi.tools webpage. Cevi Tools is a collection of useful tools developed by the Cevi community.

Local Development (using Docker)

You can preview your changes locally using docker. Clone the Repo, install docker and run:

docker compose watch

The preview page can be accessed on http://localhost:4000.

Local Development (with local ruby installation)

Clone the repo to a local folder
Install jekyll following the instructions on the official webpage.
Install your bundles once by running the following commands:

$ bundle config set --local path 'vendor/bundle'
$ bundle install

Serve the webpage locally by running the following command:

$ bundle exec jekyll serve

Deployment

Our webpage gets served directly from the gh-pages branch, which contains the plain HTML and CSS source. Those files are generated automatically upon committing to the main branch by a GitHub-Action script. Therefore, you do not want to commit directly to the gh-pages branch.

For every pull request (to the main branch), GitHub Actions will create a preview such that you can check your changes before releasing them by merging your changes into main.
