Website development

Automated deployment

Thanks to the integration with GitHub Actions, the website is automatically recompiled and published at https://tc101-demo.github.io when any change is pushed to the master branch.

This can be configured by authorized users under the "Pages" tabs in the setting pages of the repository.

Local development

It is also possible to build and run the website locally to perform and review changes before publishing them. To do so, you will need a working Ruby distribution (with dev headers to enable native extensions) to start with, because we rely on the Jekyll static site builder.

With Debian/Ubuntu, the command should be:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install ruby-dev build-essential

Then, according to Jekyll documentation, you can install Jekyll and its dependencies with:

gem install bundler jekyll

Build native extensions can take a couple of minutes, but this needs to be done only once.

Before you can compile and run the website, you need to install the website-specific dependencies using:

cd TC101-demo.github.io
bundle install

Finally, you can compile and run a local web server with live-reload enabled using:

# If not already in the web site root directory
cd TC101-demo.github.io
bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload

Voilà! Your local copy of the website should be available at http://127.0.0.1:4000/. Any change you make should be reflected in the live version within a couple of seconds.
