Meedan Code

Meedan's software blog, using jekyll.

How to write a post

• Clone this repo on the develop branch
• Install dependencies with bundle install --path vendor/bundle
• Start Jekyll locally with jekyll serve
• Open a new file in /_posts, named as YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md where the date prefix will be used as publishing date
• Posts are typically written in Markdown format - read this for a good intro
• Add a YAML header to the post like the following:

---
title: A Dockerized development environment ftw
layout: post
author: karim
---

• Ensure that you, the author, exist in /_data/people.yml
• Place your post's image files in /images - right now all post images are mixed together
• Push to develop: your post will appear at http://code.dev.meedan.com/
• Push to master or ask an admin to publish to https://code.meedan.com/
