This is the repository of the website 4front.io. It is hosted directly from the repository as a GitHub Pages website.
GitHub Pages websites being served through Jekyll, you will need to replicate the setup on your local machine to preview the website locally.
Install Ruby and Jekyll on your system, if you don't have them already.
Once installed, cd
to the respository directory and run Jekyll using the following command:
$ jekyll s
Then, load http://localhost:4000/ on your browser.
Jekyll uses a variant of Markdown known as Kramdown, read up the docs if you need to go beyond basic Markdown in the doc files.
To understand the template system used by Jekyll, read up the Liquid template engine docs.
Feel free to make changes to the template files or the document files. The supporting docs are located in their respective directories, and the API docs are located under the _includes
directory.
If you have an app you'd like to showcase on the site, open a pull request for it.
Jekyll comes built-in with GitHub Pages. Since we are already using GitHub Pages to host the website, it makes sense to leverage the capabilities it provides. It's all about using the right tool, for the right job, under the right circumstances.
