The new and improved website!

sylverstudios.dev

The goal is to make this a safe and easy place to post anything we want. Games, apps, ideas, whatever. If you're unsure, make a draft and push a branch, it won't go live and everyone else can give feedback.

Deployment

• Sylverstudios.dev Netlify deploys this from Master
  • PRs are deployed via Netlify to temporary addresses as well
• Github will build/deploy master to SylverStudios.github.io
  • Netlify functions won't work here?
• Sylverstud.io
  • Do we still own this domain? We should redirect it

How can I contribute?

Open a PR, add a new post file (Post format: YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.MARKUP). If the file is under drafts, it won't need the date. Run it locally to make sure everything is working. Pretty straight forward.

bundle exec jekyll serve --drafts

Development Environment setup - Mac

Are you me? Have you not properly setup ruby on your old mcBook? Some of these steps will relate to that issue, ignore if not applicable.

Ruby Setup

We need ruby installed, at the correct version, to run jekyll. In order to easily chose our ruby version, we will first install the tool rbenv. (Important Note! You must complete all of the rbenv installation steps, including updating your bash_profile).

After install rbenv, we will use it to set up the version of ruby required by jekyll, namely ruby 2.6.0:

rbenv install 2.6.0
# Should see output regarding Downloading and Installing ruby 2.6.0
rbenv local 2.6.0
# Sets the ruby version to 2.6.0
ruby --version
# Should see output verifying that the ruby version is indeed 2.6.0

Jekyll Setup

Next we will set up Jekyll's dependencies in this project specifically.

cd to/the/project # top-level
# install jekyll & bundler
gem install jekyll bundler
# install dependencies tracked by bundler
bundle install

Voila! At this point the environment should support everything we need to develop. You can verify this by running the main development command:

# Run in dev mode, displays drafts
bundle exec jekyll serve --drafts

Whats weird?

_includes Folder

Overwrite the template styles. Example: The head.html is copied from Minima our current theme, the only difference is that it adds a link for the favicon.
