The Bixal Methods are based on the stellar work done by the 18F Team. When deciding how to document our own approach, we decided to use the 18F Methods as a starting point for building a toolkit that would reflect the way we work.
You can see their original repository and README here. Note: This is not a fork of their repository, and because we plan on making significant changes to the content, we don't plan on merging our content back in. This is a completely separate clone.
You’re presently looking at the Methods’ GitHub (code) repository. Please visit our homepage to read the Methods online.
To print a copy of the Methods for offline use, visit the Methods print page. You may need to select file → print… from your web browser.
Coming soon.
You will need Ruby ( > version 2.1.5 ). You may consider using a Ruby version manager such as rbenv or rvm to help ensure that Ruby version upgrades don’t mean all your gems will need to be rebuilt.
On OS X, you can use Homebrew to install Ruby in /usr/local/bin, which may require you to update your $PATH environment variable:
shell
$ brew update
$ brew install ruby
To serve 18F Methods locally, using methods as the name of your new repository:
Run each of the following steps to get the site up and running.
git clone git@github.com:18F/methods
cd methods
bundle install
jekyll serve
You should be able to see the site at: http://localhost:4000/
