maptime.github.io

This is the central repo of the maptime.io website. This is a Jekyll site served on Github Pages. If your environment is already setup, type in your terminal (the '$' refers to your prompt):

$ git clone git@github.com:maptime/maptime.github.io.git
$ cd maptime.github.io
$ jekyll serve --watch

Setting up your environment

Set up git and jekyll, which depend on ruby and homebrew:

For the code snippets below, you'll want to copy everything after the $ and paste into a terminal window.

Install Homebrew

Paste this into terminal

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

Hit Return to start installation.

After it finishes, make sure brew is configured correctly by running:

$ brew doctor

Install Git

1. In terminal, run the following commands:

brew update
brew install git

2. Then follow the Set Up Git instructions provided by GitHub to configure your github account through git.

Install Ruby

1. MacOS comes with a built-in version of Ruby, but it's frequently out of date, and requires installing gems with sudo. It's better to install Ruby from homebrew:

brew install ruby

2. Then add /usr/local/opt/ruby/bin to $PATH:

$ echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile

Install Jekyll

Run the following in terminal:

$ gem install jekyll -v 2.4.0
$ gem install rdiscount

Clone this repo

Clone the maptime.github.io repo on your computer. Then switch into that file directory.

$ git clone -b master git@github.com:maptime/maptime.github.io.git
$ cd maptime.github.io
