The https://voxpupuli.org site. Have a look at it to see what this is all about.

• bundle install
• bundle exec jekyll serve -w --config _config.yml,_config-dev.yml

You can also use the rake tasks defined in the Rakefile:

• build: jekyll build
• validate: uses html-proofer to check the generated site
• clean: removes the ./_site directory Jekyll generated

Tools and plugins that appear on the Plugins page of our site are defined in the _data/tools directory. Tools without plugins are going to be listed in the table under the Tools header. Tools with plugins will have their own header and table listing the plugins defined for that tool.

There's a single hash in each tool's definition that describes the tool and optionally contains an array of plugins that can be used with that tool. A tool that doesn't have any plugins will be listed in the table under the Tools header while a tool that does have plugins will have its own header and a table listing all plugins in the tool's plugins array.

The difference can be kind of fluid, so I figured it would be helpful to define plugin and tool.

A plugin cannot generally be used independent of another tool. Plugins add functionality to another tool. An example of a plugin is beaker-libvirt because it enables libvirt as a hypervisor in Beaker.

A tool can generally be used independent of another specific tool or it is a tool that has plugins itself. An example of a tool is rspec-puppet because it has plugins. Another example of a tool is modulesync because it can be used independent of another tool.
