Egor's blog on programming.

Prerequisites
-------------

[Jekyll] is used to build a set of static HTML pages from a collection of
templates and resources.
[Bundler] is used to manage project's dependencies.
Make sure you have the `bundler` gem installed; project dependencies can then
be installed by executing

    bundle install

in the project's root directory.

[Jekyll]: https://jekyllrb.com/
[Bundler]: http://bundler.io/

Usage
-----

To run a local web server, execute

    bundle exec jekyll serve --watch --drafts --config _config.yml,_config_dev.yml

in the project's root directory.
You can then review your changes at http://localhost:4000/.

If you can't get Jekyll to properly `--watch` for file modifications on
Windows, try adding `--force_polling` to `jekyll`s options:

    bundle exec jekyll serve --watch --force_polling --drafts --config _config.yml,_config_dev.yml

It might still not work though, but you can always re-run `jekyll` manually.

Note that `_config_dev.yml` is included to rewrite some of the `site` fields
from `_config.yml` during development.
In particular, it

* sets `minified_externals` to `false` so that the properly formatted versions
of external CSS stylesheets and JavaScript files are included instead of the
`min`ified versions,
* sets `include_comments` to `false` to exclude the Disqus comments section
from the posts,
* sets `baseurl` to an empty string so that the website can be accessed from
local web server's root directory (i.e. from http://localhost:4000/ instead of
http://localhost:4000/blog/).

### Access via file://

Jekyll doesn't provide native support for generating a static website which can
be browsed without running an instance of Jekyll's web server.
One easy workaround is to `wget` the website and convert the links:

    wget --convert-links --recursive http://localhost:4000/
