Making Changes

1. Clone the repo locally:

   git clone git@github.com:topcoat/topcoat.github.com.git

2. Install DocPad (make sure you have node and npm installed):

   npm install -g docpad

3. Install all the docpad plugins (configuration located in the package.json file):

   npm install

4. You can start up docpad to test out your changes locally:

   docpad run

5. Open your browser and go to http://localhost:9778/

   • Live reload is enabled, so while you are making changes and saving the files, the browser should update automatically.
   • To stop docpad hit ⌃ + c

6. Make changes only to the src/ directory, everything else could be overwritten later.

   • All the dynamic content (jade, stylus, md, etc) is in src/documents/, the templates are in src/layouts/, and static files (images, etc) are in src/static.
   • While docpad is running locally, it will output the files to the out/ directory

7. When you finish making changes, stop docpad (⌃ + c), and generate the static site:

   docpad generate --env static

8. Deploy to git:

   git status

   (to check your changes)

   git commit -am 'type some descriptive message here
