Local setup using Docker

You need to take the following steps to get al-folio up and running in your local machine:

• First, install docker (Install Docker Desktop). Make sure that Docker Destop is open/running on your computer, and if it hangs you may need to restart your computer once after the installation
• Then, clone this repository to your machine:

$ git clone git@github.com:<your-username>/<your-repo-name>.git
$ cd <your-repo-name>

Finally, run the following command that will pull a pre-built image from DockerHub and will run your website.

$ ./bin/dockerhub_run.sh

Local setup without Docker

Assuming you have Ruby and Bundler installed on your system (hint: for ease of managing ruby gems, consider using rbenv), do the following:

$ git clone git@github.com:<your-username>/<your-repo-name>.git
$ cd <your-repo-name>
$ bundle install
$ bundle exec jekyll serve

License

The theme is available as open source under the terms of the MIT License.

Originally, al-folio was based on the *folio theme (published by Lia Bogoev and under the MIT license). Since then, it got a full re-write of the styles and many additional cool features.
