- Fork the repo
- Clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/<profile>/wilmerlab.github.io.git - Create a branch
$ git checkout -b <branch-name> - Make and test changes to website (can run the website locally and see changes in real time)
- Stage changes
$ git add <files added and changed> - Commit changes
$ git commit -m "Descriptive commit message" - Push changes
$ git push origin. This will most likely tell you that upstream branch was not recognized, but it will give you the command to execute to set the branch in the remote:git push --set-upstream origin <branch-name> - In GitHub, open a pull request in the WilmerLab/wilmerlab.github.io repo (not your fork of the repo).
Here is what I did on my Mac Book Pro running High Sierra and Brew. Jekyll is a ruby application. Gem is basically a ruby version of pip.
brew install ruby
brew update ruby
after cloning from github into a new window
cd ~/workspace/wilmerlab.github.io
gem install bundler
bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve
