Making Changes

1. Clone the repo locally

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

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

npm install -g docpad

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

npm install

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

docpad run

1. 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

1. 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

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

docpad generate --env static

1. Deploy to git

git status

(to check your changes)

git commit -am 'type some descriptive message here
