dddem-blog's Introduction

The DDD East Midlands Blog

DDDEMBlog Deploy

Welcome to the repository for the DDD East Midlands Blog!

After much persuasion from the community, we have decided to move away from Medium and host our blogs using Jekyll.

We chose Jekyll as it is a framework we, the organisers, are familiar with and it allows posts to be submitted in markdown, which we hope will still keep the barrier to entry low.

Want to contribute?

We have some handy contribution guidelines to help provide some guidance.

But first....

Please read through the Code Of Conduct to make sure your submissions abide to it.

Running Locally

Install the dependencies:

$ npm run install-jekyll

Run the website:

$ bundle exec jekyll serve --source site --port 6060

Deployment pipeline

GitHub Actions is set up to build on pull request. When a pull request is merged into main, the site will be deployed through github actions
