codeforabq.org, etc.

This repo contains the sourcecode for codeforabq.org. In addition, the Wiki and Issue queue in this repo are used to track activities and documentation for the brigade. File attachments for the Wiki, as well as general design assets, are in the _assets folder.

Overview

The Code for ABQ website is run directly from the gh-pages branch of this GitHub repository, with static pages generated by Jekyll. You don't need to run Jekyll locally on your machine to contribute content to the site, but you should probably do so to work on the design.

Running Jekyll locally

Prereqs:

Ruby. That's it.

Setup

1. Run gem install jekyll to install it
2. Clone this repository and cd to its root directory
3. Run jekyll serve and browse to http://127.0.0.1:4000 or http://localhost:4000 . Note that you must run jekyll serve from the site's root directory. As long as you leave that jekyll server running, you can make edits to the source and the static pages will be regenerated on the fly.

Special instructions for Windows users

If you use Windows and don't already have a full Unix-style shell (such as Cygwin) installed and configured, you can get up and running very quickly using the Cloud9 cloud development environment. Create a "Custom" workspace, connect it to the github repo, change to the gh-pages branch, and run jekyll serve --host $IP --port $PORT --baseurl ''.
