Looking for website updating instructions?
(Need to set up your own Jekyll/S3 site? See generate-static-site.)
The Gehlenborg Lab website uses Jekyll plugins beyond those supported by GitHub Pages.
Instead, when the main branch is updated, Github Actions builds _site and pushes it
to the appropriate S3 bucket. You will need to need to have a working, up-to-date ruby environment.
Install rvm [https://rvm.io/rvm/install]. RVM should load or prompt for installation of the ruby version in .ruby_version on entry to the project folder.
With Ruby fixed, then:
$ gem install bundler
$ bundle install
$ npm install
$ jekyll serve &
When Jekyll is watching the filesystem, it won't run post-processing hooks that generate thumbnails. You can do this manually:
brew install imagemagick
./post-build.sh
For smaller edits, you can just use the editor on the github site, though it's still a good idea to save the edit to a branch.
For larger edits, check out this repo locally. Our convention for branch names is username/description, so it's easy to tell whose contribution it is.
Run jekyll locally to get a preview of the site.
If using OS X >=10.12 you may run into errors installing nokogiri with the bundle install step.
This workaround should do the trick:
sudo gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.8.1' -- --with-xml2-include=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.12.sdk/usr/include/libxml2 --use-system-libraries
