Mergist is an online tool to combine multiple PDF files into one. Mergist has no ads, no file size limits, and your files never leave your device.


Installation

  1. Install Node.js and NPM (if they are not already set up on your system). See nodejs.org for more details.
  2. Install Yarn 3 (if it is not already set up on your system). See the Yarn docs for more details.
  3. Clone the repo with https://github.com/jerboa88/Mergist.git. Alternatively, you can download the repository as a zip file and extract it.
  4. Enter the project root with cd Mergist.
  5. Use yarn install to install the app and all of its dependencies.

Usage

Mergist is a static site built using the Gatsby framework. We can build the site using the Gatsby CLI, which should have been installed with the install command above. All of the necessary commands are declared in package.json for convenience.

There are two ways to build & serve the site:

  1. Use yarn develop to run the app in development mode. This will start the development server at localhost:8000 (by default). The project will automatically be rebuilt when changes are made.

  2. Use yarn build to generate a production build of the app, then use yarn serve to serve it. The site can be viewed at localhost:9000 (by default).

yarn clean can be used to clear the local Gatsby cache if you encounter any issues with stale data/dependencies.

See the Gatsby CLI docs for additional commands and options. You will likely have to prefix commands with yarn to make sure package resolution works properly. For example, the above yarn develop is actually just a shortcut for yarn gatsby develop.

Contributing

This a personal project but feel free to create an issue if you encounter any problems with the site. Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.
