Welcome to the new Open Source Rails. We've revamped the site as a simple static site generator for more speed, easier updates, and maintenance by a larger open source community.
We're managing new project submission via Github Issues. You can also send us a pull request.
You can also submit a guest blog post on Open Source Rails about your project (installation instructions, walkthrough guides, tips/tricks). If it's of high quality, we'll merge it in and feature it on our site.
You can either write the blog post as a github issue (in markdown), or fork the code of the site and check it in as blog/posts/[title].md
To help add features, write content, or tweak/fix the site, you can check out the project from github. We're using a static site generated called Middleman
git clone git@github.com:railsjedi/opensourcerails.git
bundle
rake github_data # generates data/github.yml (for dynamic sorting of projects)
bundle exec middleman server -p 3000
You should now be able to access the site locally at http://localhost:3000
You can also start Guard in a new Terminal tab with bundle exec guard -g assets. If you have LiveReload Chrome extension installed, it will automatically update your browser as you make changes.
To deploy to opensourcerails.com, just run:
rake github_data && bundle exec middleman build && bundle exec middleman deploy
If you think you should have access to deploy but don't submit a new Github Issue with your SSH public key in it, and we'll add you to the authorized_keys on the server.
If you get github exceptions about rate limitations (default is just 60/per hour per ip address), you'll need to authenticate your machine via .netrc
echo 'machine api.github.com login mygithubusername password MyPasswordHere111' >> ~/.netrc
replace mygithubusername and MyPasswordHere111 with your actual github username/password
If this is there, then it shouldn't have a problem with the rate limit (its bumped to 5k/hr).
