Redesign Blog

To apply updates

• create a branch off of Master branch.
• create a new directory in your development environment.
• cd into that directory and add the remote branch.
• Use SorceTree or command line to pull that branch into the directory.
• make changes in local enviroment
• build '_site' with local config
• To build and test locally

bundle exec jekyll build

bundle exec jekyll serve --incremental

Go to: http://127.0.0.1:4000/ and verify changes.

Build for production deployment

bundle exec jekyll build --config=_config_prod.yml

Push changes up to git repo

• Add and commit files to git

Merge branch with Master branch.

** Make sure there are no conflicts, and there are usually conflicts!**

• Do the merge step on the git website.

To push to production

For Jekyll sites we SFTP the _site directory to production.

** Do not move the files to production unless you have built for production. Meaning if you did not complete this step then do it now:

bundle exec jekyll build --config=_config_prod.yml

SSH onto the production server and cd into /usr/local/www/redesign

Copy the _site directory over to production. Do not copy anything else over.

Verify changes online and log out of production.
