This README assumes you are using a modern macOS system

The same setup can be achieved on Windows and Linux however, the requirements are different.

• Jekyll & Bundler:

$ gem install jekyll
$ gem install bundler

• Nodejs/npm - We use NVM (Node Version Manager): https://github.com/creationix/nvm

  • .nvmrc file in this repo will make NVM use Node v8.9.4 (to avoid compatibility issues)
  • Or, if you must - Use the Nodejs installer: https://nodejs.org/

• Gulp:

$ npm install --global gulp-cli # mac users may need sudo

$ git clone https://github.com/wdzajicek/wzportfolio.git <project name>
# ssh clone use: [email protected]:wdzajicek/wzportfolio.git
$ cd <project name>
$ sh install.sh # install.sh runs bundle & npm installs, among a few other things.

Both production builds and dev builds use the run-p (running npm scripts in parallel) using npm-run-all.

Both dev and production builds run two npm scripts in parallel: one starts the $ gulp command, the other starts $ npx webpack.

A dev build runs the default gulp task (i.e. with no --production flag) and Webpack passing the --mode="development" flag to Webpack.

A production build runs gulp with the --production flag and Webpack with the --mode=production flag.

Do NOT push dev builds to the GitHub repo.

$ npm run dev

# This alias in your dotfiles is convenient:
alias npm-d="npm run dev"

Dev builds run quicker on your machine. They make un-minified CSS, JS, & images.

Dev builds also create a sourcemap in the stylesheets. This allows tools like Chrome's inspect to display the Sass module a particular style is located in.

Only production builds should be pushed to the GitHub repo.

$ npm run production

# Another convenient alias:
alias npm-p="npm run production"

Production build minifies CSS and JavaScript and compresses image files.
