The website is automatically deployed when changes are pushed to the main branch of the GitHub repository. No additional steps are required.

If you're developing locally and want to preview the site:

1. Install Jekyll
2. Install dependencies:

   bundle install

3. Run Jekyll with live reload:

   bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload

   This will:
   • Start the Jekyll server
   • Enable live reload (site automatically refreshes when files change)
   • Watch for file changes in real-time
4. View the site at http://localhost:4000

Note: If you encounter any issues with live reload, you can also run without it:

bundle exec jekyll serve
