Test build the site locally

You need Node (at least v8+) on your computer. To check if you have node and what version run this command in your terminal:

node --version

Clone this repo, fire up your terminal, go to the new folder and run:

npm install

This will install all the dependencies.

Build it for dev To build your static website for local development run:

npm run build-dev

This will build the static website into the /dev folder without all the minifying and purging stuff (<- much faster and a more human friendly code output, but a much bigger package)

Run in dev mode To run the build-dev task automatically on file changes run:

npm run watch

That will run a local server from /dev folder and connects browser sync to it. On changes within the /src folder it will run the npm run build-dev command automatically and will refresh your browser.

Build it for production To build site for a prod deployment run:

npm run build

That will output the full site, with purged and minified CSS and minified html. The output will be stored in the /public folder. This is done automatically from main in GitHub Actions, and hosted by GitHub Pages.

Site developed from the 11straps.com template. It combines the static site generator 11ty with the CSS framework Bootstrap 5 and is stitched together with some npm and Gulp magic dust. It minifies and purges the CSS file (so it removes any unused CSS) and comes with a static server and browser sync support for your local development.
