Build Status

Setup

Clone the repo and install all necessary gems with

$ git clone git@github.com:renderedtext/semaphore-docs-new.git
$ cd semaphore-docs-new
$ bundle install --path .bundle
$ cp data/credentials.yml.example data/credentials.yml

For writing new articles or making updates, feel free to leave dummy credentials in data/credentials.yml.

Writing

Pages are stored in source/docs/.

To view the blog locally run:

./server

which actually runs

$ bundle exec middleman -p 4000

Now you can open http://localhost:4000/docs.

Categories

Categories will be automatically grabbed from the post heading:

---
layout: post
title: Custom database.yml
category: Ruby
---

If the page /docs/ruby.html exists, user will be able to reach it from the post breadcrumbs. If the page doesn't exist, a page with the list of all posts in the category will be automatically generated and displayed.

Embedding images

All images must be in the PNG file format, and processed using ImageOptim. If you do not have access to an OS X machine, please notify us in the pull request, and we'll make sure to run them through ImageOptim.

Give all images appropriate alt text, as well as the following CSS classes:

<img src="/docs/assets/img/2012-06-14/semaphore-homepage.png" alt="Semaphore Homepage" class="img-responsive img-bordered">

Escaping ERB

You must escape ERB code snippets in files with .erb extension (via):

<%%= foo %>

Deployment

for Rendered Text people

Simply run

./deploy

which does bundle exec middleman build and uploads the content to an S3 bucket using the AWS CLI. It requires a valid ~/.aws configuration.

Configuration

All sensitive credentials are stored in data/credentials.yml check data/credentials.yml.example for more info about format of file.
