Pclub Website

Pclub's website is a jekyll based static pages website with a custom theme.

Dependencies

The only dependency is jekyll...which is made with ruby so it is and extended dependency. As with anything Ruby, it is recommended to use

Running locally

To run the theme locally

• Install ruby along with gem which probably installs alongside (preferably with a package manager)
• Install bundle with gem install bundle
• Now clone this repo (fork it if you haven't) and navigate to the cloned directory
• Run bundle install to install all the dependencies
• Finally run bundle exec jekyll serve to start build the project and start a Jekyll server on localhost
• You can use bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload instead to automatically preview the changes as you make them (auto reloads on file save)
• You can preview the site at localhost:4000 or 127.0.0.1:4000

It is recommended to check out the official step-by-step tutorial which does an excellent job explaining the workings of Jekyll

Structure of the project

The structure of this project is like any normal jekyll project, with an exception of the updating-scripts folder which contains custom scripts to make the task of updating the site every year easier and have nothing to do with the actual site served.

The general structure of a jekyll project is comprihensively explained in their docs
