Game Experiences Made in Sheffield

Welcome to the gemsheffield.com codebase! This repository is a simple static site which runs the website.

gemsheffield.com is a Jekyll site which is compiled to a static asset whenever the main branch is updated.

The website is currently hosted on DigitalOcean (which is what ./do is all about), as a free static site. Whenever the main branch is updated, the site is rebuilt and redeployed.

Running the app locally

1. Install the prerequisites for Jekyll
2. Run bundle install
3. Run bundle exec jekyll serve

This will host a hot-reloading version of the website on http://localhost:4000.

Note: the version of the website hosted live isn't a live server, instead it builds the website to static HTML files. This limits some of the nicer features of the app - for instance, we can't remove .html from all URLs unless we change hosting methods.
