Generating the site/hosting locally

You will need Ruby ( > version 2.1.5 ). You may consider using a Ruby version manager such as rbenv or rvm to help ensure that Ruby version upgrades don't mean all your gems will need to be rebuilt.

On OS X, you can use Homebrew to install Ruby in /usr/local/bin, which may require you to update your $PATH environment variable:

$ brew update
$ brew install ruby

To serve the site locally:

$ git clone git@github.com:18F/wg-documentation.git
$ cd wg-documentation
$ ./go init
$ ./go serve

This will check that your Ruby version is supported, install the Bundler gem if it is not yet installed, install all the gems needed by the template, and launch a running instance on http://localhost:4000/wg-documentation/. (Make sure to include the trailing slash! The built-in Jekyll webserver doesn't redirect to it.)

After going through these steps, run ./go to see a list of available commands. The serve command is the most common for routine development.
