Coders for Labour Website

This site is built using Jekyll and hosted on Github Pages.

Installation:

• Install Jekyll if you do not have it already - jekyllrb.com/docs/quickstart

• git clone git@github.com:coders-for-labour/coders-for-labour.github.io.git

• bundle install

• bundle exec jekyll build will do the first build of the site and produce a directory called _site. This directory will always get wiped when running this command, never edit this directory.

• bundle exec jekyll serve will build the site and start a web server for you to visit - http://localhost:4000

Dev notes:

• Always make sure you git pull when starting anything new on this repo.

• For anything new always create new branch

  git checkout -b feature-nice-shiny-new-thing

  Commit this new branch > submit a pull request > wait for review and the thumbs up of at least one other member, then merge branch to master to go live.

Participation guide:

• Comment code as you go, this will make life easier for somebody that steps into a project you have been working on.
• If you are editing somebody else’s code, follow the same style/syntax and try to avoid cleaning somebody else’s code. Edit lines relevant to your task for a simpler git merge. Refactoring is a separate job.
• Communicate with others if you are unsure. Join the Slack channel, post on Facebook, whatever makes you feel most comfortable. There is no question too silly.
