To edit this site

You can check out Natalia's original setup of the site on her blog.

1. Git clone this repository.
2. Get Jekyll set up on your machine:
   • Follow these instructions.
   • After running gem install jekyll, also install the bundler and the theme:

     gem install bundler just-the-docs

3. On your local computer, open the docs/_config.yml file. Under # JEKYLL STUFF, you should see one line beginning with remote_theme and one line beginning with #theme
   • Delete the # before #theme and add a # before remote_theme. This change allows local rendering of the website with the Just the Docs theme. Do not commit this change to GitHub!
4. From the docs directory, run:

   jekyll serve

   • The last few lines of the output should be something like:

     Server address: http://127.0.0.1:4000
     Server running... press ctrl-c to stop.
     

     Copy the URL (in this case, http://127.0.0.1:4000) into your browser to see the site.

Once you are happy with your local changes, you can git commit your changes, and then push. The site will automatically deploy using a github action.
