DesignMyNight Developer Documentation

Contributing

The documentation is compiled from Markdown to HTML using Hugo.

Running Locally

To build and use the documentation locally, you will need the following:

• Git
• Docker (>= v1.10.0)

First clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/designmynight/designmynight-developers

Now, launch the Docker container.

$ docker-compose up

Go to http://localhost:1313 to see the documentation. Live reloading is enabled, so any changes will appear as soon as you save a file.

If you just want to build the docs and assets without serving them, you can use the make file:

$ make

The compiled documentations and assets will be outputted to the /dist directory.

dist/ is .gitignore'd, so you won't be able to manually deploy by mistake.

What is make doing?

docker-compose run hugo hugo

Runs the hugo container, and specifies that the hugo command should be run (instead of hugo server). This builds the docs and outputs them to /dist.

docker-compose run assets npm run build

Runs the assets container which will install javascript dependencies and run gulp build task. Assets will be outputted inside the /dist directory.

Deployment

To deploy your changes, merge them into the master branch.

When changes are merged to master, Travis will run the deploy part of the .travis.yml config file. This will:

• Clone the repository and checkout the master branch
• Run make
• Remove the .gitignore from /dist (so that we can commit the contents)
• Creates a CNAME file using the FQDN specified in the Travis config
• Commits the contents of /dist into the gh-pages branch*

* Using the gh-pages branch means that Travis will never commit to master, so we don't have to worry about conflicts or overwritten data.

Once built, your changes will be live at http://developers.designmynight.com
