How to use, on a windows machine

There's a Linux devcontainer in this repo, it's really slow with real-time updates from filesystem, windows direct development is much smoother.

1. Clone this repository.

2. Install nodejs 14.2.0 (yes, I'm in dependency hell and don't want to upgrade) via choco:

    choco install nodejs.install --version=14.2.0 -y --force
   
    node --version
    # v14.2.0

3. Install Gatsby with npm install -g gatsby-cli@2.12.21.

4. cd into the root directory of the cloned repository and run npm install to install all site dependencies - this takes a few minutes grabbing all the packages in yarn.lock.

5. Run gatsby develop to build and start a local development server.

6. View the site at localhost:8000, with graphql endpoint at localhost:8000/___graphql

7. To view a production version of the site, run: gatsby clean; gatsby build; gatsby serve and view at localhost:9000

CI/CD

Pushing code into this repository triggers two GitHub Actions:

1. Purge Azure CDN: which clears the Azure CDN cached content via purging
2. Deploy Website to Azure Storage Account: which builds the static site with gatsby build, and uploads content to an Azure Storage Account - where the site is being hosted.
