Updating packages

Packages are installed in the separate directory in the Docker image, but the package.json file is maintained in the project root. New packages can be added with the command:

make shell
npm add ...

Stylesheets

The stylesheets are kept in the scss directory. When they are changed the sass:watch command in the package.json will compile it to the css directory. This is the file used in the link tag in the template. The addWatchTarget in the elventy config will rebuild the site when this file changes.

Deployment

Relies on an .env file with the required aws cli credentials. Create this locally for testing. The GH actions step will create the .env file as a step beforehand. The required environment variables are:

• S3_BUCKET
• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• AWS_DEFAULT_REGION
