BarCamp Berkshire source code

How to use Octopress

The basics

2 main branches

There are 2 main branches that hold production code.

• master: holds the source code. This is the branch you make a feature branch of and add stuff to.
• gh-pages: This is the branch that holds the compiled site. You never commit to this directly.

Adding a new post

1. Clone the repo and make your own branch using git checkout -b my_branch_name
2. Generate a new post with rake new_post[This is my awesome title]
3. Edit the post using markdown
4. Preview your post as you type using rake preview which starts a server on port 4000 and keeps track of changes and recompiles the code.
5. When you are done commit your code to your own branch
6. Publish your own branch using git push -u origin my_branch_name
7. Open a pull request to get your post approved by someone. We all do spelling mistakes.

Deploying the site

1. Pull the latest changes and checkout the master branch
2. Run rake gen_deploy to generate and deploy the latest code

The header and body have a grey background that's unnoticeable. Either remove it or add it stronger, though you might want to add some padding then

Responsive design broken

Menu bar and sidebar seem to have broken when resized. Bit sad as the original css was very nicely responsive.
