Making code changes

If you are interested in making changes to the design, functionality, or structure of the blog, you're going to need to set up a local environment and understand some of the technologies behind the site.

1. Install Jekyll and dependencies. First thing you're going to need to do is set up Jekyll and the appropriate dependencies so you can develop locally. The easiest way to install everything is to use RubyGems and follow the instructions on the Jekyll website. In addition to the basic Jekyll installation, you also need to install a few dependency gems. After installing RubyGems on your machine, you really only need to run one basic command:

gem install jekyll

Ubuntu:

sudo apt install ruby ruby-dev make gcc
sudo gem install jekyll bundler

2. Run a local version of the blog. Using Git, clone the latest version of this repository to your local machine using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea-game.github.io.git

Then go into root of the folder and run jekyll serve:

cd triplea-game.github.io && jekyll serve

This will get a local version of the blog running on your machine, accessible on localhost:4000, or whatever the terminal tells you

3. Read up on the documentation. To really understand how to develop the site there are a few things you're going to need to read up on to make meaningful changes:

• Jekyll The static site generator used for the site
• GitHub Pages How the site is hosted
• Liquid The templating language used with Jekyll by Shopify

** Tip:** Write any content in Markdown with the YAML front matter like the other pages. If you can, follow the instructions below to test your changes.
