My Blog

This repo was established to contain my blog writings. It also has some technical stuff in order to test it locally.

Local Development Environment Setup

This repo should document the process of getting a development environment configured for authoring and previewing the blog.

Prerequisites

• VirtualBox
  • https://www.virtualbox.org/
  • Version 5.1.18 at time of writing
• Vagrant
  • https://www.vagrantup.com/
  • Version 1.9.3 at time of writing

Setup

1. Clone this repo
2. Open a terminal for running Vagrant (PowerShell, on Windows):
3. cd <repo path>
4. vagrant up
5. When that is complete, open a terminal in the newly created virtual machine:
6. cd /vagrant/
7. rbenv install (uses .ruby-version in repo)
8. gem install bundler
9. bundle install (or bundle update, if this isn't your first time)
10. bundle exec jekyll serve 1. Append --drafts for serving drafts folder 1. NOTE: Jekyll automatically updates when changes to its folder are made, but only on the guest VM. Making changes from the host on the shared /vagrant folder does not trigger a Jekyll refresh.
