Spinto is a CMS alternative for building websites with non-technical contributors over Git. The site builder on Spinto's server is a flavor of Jekyll, with added support for CoffeeScript, LESS, SASS and SCSS.
The Spinto Ruby Gem comes with a server to build and preview
your website on your own computer. Open a terminal and cd
into a Spinto/Jekyll project, and start the server:
spinto-site --auto --server
Now you can open a browser to https://localhost:4000
and see your website. The --auto
flag will ensure your
website is rebuilt when files are changed.
