This is the GitHub repository for the Julia programming language project's main website, julialang.org. The repository for the source code of the language itself can be found at github.com/JuliaLang/julia.
The Julia website is generated using GitHub pages and Jekyll, as explained here.
After installing docker, run make run to build and run the website within the a container built from the jekyll/jekyll image that contains all the necessary prerequisites. Modifying files will cause the website to rebuild in real time.
In short, be sure you have ruby installed, and then run these commands
gem install bundler
to install bundler, run
bundle install --path vendor --binstubs
from the root of this repository to fetch all dependencies and install them locally. You only have to do this once.
Now you can run
./bin/jekyll serve --future
in the root of this repository to serve it, usually on http://localhost:4000. Or with other options, such as internet-visible on port 4444 with all drafts:
./bin/jekyll serve --incremental -H 0.0.0.0 -P 4444 -l --future --unpublished --drafts
You can then edit the sources and Jekyll will rebuild changed files. To see changes, reload the page you edited.
