Ruby LoCo Website Build Status

Rubyists of Loudoun County, VA. We meet the last Friday of every month, please join us.

Our website is built using Middleman, a static site generator.

Getting Started

Make sure ruby is installed. Duh. RVM, rbenv, whatever. Here's an example of getting rbenv up and running using homebrew.

$ brew install rbenv
$ brew install ruby-build

A vendor everything approach in your development is recommended.

$ git clone [email protected]:rubyloco/rubyloco.com.git
$ cd rubyloco.com
$ cat .ruby-version | rbenv install # if you lack this ruby version
$ bundle install --path vendor --local

Run the middleman server in development.

$ rake

This just runs bundle exec middleman server and opens http://localhost:4567 in your default browser.

Publishing

The site is hosted on GitHub Pages. To publish, run:

$ rake publish

This will build the site, create a new commit in the gh-pages branch, and automatically push that branch to origin.
