Our personal website and travel blog built with Gatsby

BC Travel

Note: This site was originally forked from the Netlify cms Gatsby starter

This site is built with Gatsby v2 and follows the JAMstack architecture by using Git as a single source of truth, and Netlify for continuous deployment, and CDN distribution.

NetlifyCMS is used to help manage content and since it's a media heavy travel blog, most of the images are hosted on Cloudinary.

Prerequisites

• Node (I recommend using v8.2.0 or higher)
• Gatsby CLI

Running Locally

git clone https://github.com/bpugh/bc-travel.git
cd bc-travel
yarn
yarn start

To test the CMS portion locally, you'll need run a production build of the site:

yarn build

Setting up the CMS

Follow the Netlify CMS Quick Start Guide to set up authentication, and hosting.

Debugging

Windows users might encounter node-gyp errors when trying to npm install. To resolve, make sure that you have both Python 2.7 and the Visual C++ build environment installed.

npm config set python python2.7
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools

Full details here

MacOS users might also encounter some errors, for more info check node-gyp. I recommend using the latest stable node version.
