Local Development

This is to see your website react to your changes in realtime without having to git push. Make sure you have Ruby installed. If not, follow this tutorial (for Windows)

1. Install Jekyll and plug-ins in one fell swoop. gem install github-pages This mirrors the plug-ins used by GitHub Pages on your local machine including Jekyll, Sass, etc.
2. Clone down your fork git clone https://github.com/yourusername/yourusername.github.io.git
3. Serve the site and watch for markup/sass changes jekyll serve
4. View your website at http://127.0.0.1:4000/
5. Commit any changes and push everything to the master branch of your GitHub user repository. GitHub Pages will then rebuild and serve your website.
