Technical Details

This site is built using Jekyll.

To build the website and preview it locally, you'll need to:

1. Install a recent Ruby version (tested on Ruby 3.4.1)
2. Run gem install bundler to install Bundler (a dependency manager for Ruby)
3. Run bundle install to install Jekyll and a few other dependencies (listed in the Gemfile)
4. Run bundle exec jekyll serve to build and start the website.
5. Go to http://localhost:4000 in your browser to view the site.

After this, if you add or make edits to markdown files, HTML templates, etc, Jekyll will rebuild the site automatically, and you'll see the changes once you refresh the page in your browser. If you make changes to _config.yaml or any code in the _plugins directory, you'll need to restart Jekyll for the changes to take effect.
