Development Setup

Previewing Your Changes Using Jekit

Don't want to install anything? You can use the nifty Jekit app to preview changes you make to this site remotely.

To do this, fork this repo, and commit your changes on a branch to your fork. You can then preview what your changes look like by navigating to:

https://jekit.codeforamerica.org/USERNAME/bizfriendly-web/BRANCHNAME/

For a basic example of its usage, if GitHub user @lolname has made changes to the about.html page on their fork, they can preview their changes using Jekit by going to:

https://jekit.codeforamerica.org/lolname/bizfriendly-web/gh-pages/about.html

Running the Site Locally on Your Computer

To run the site locally on your own computer (most helpful for previewing your own changes), you will need Jekyll installed (click here for Jekyll installation instructions.)

Fork and clone the repository, then run the following command in the root directory of the repo:

jekyll serve -w

Your computer should now be serving your local copy of the site at:

http://localhost:4000.

Technology Patterns

Uses Jekyll for templating – converted HTML files are in the _site folder.
