The site uses nanoc -- a static site generator -- to convert a few md pages into html. It is also powered by github pages.

There is a master branch with the source code that gets converted with nanoc into output directory and the result is pushed into a gh-pages branch on the same repository.

So you have the following structure:

/Bonobo-Git-Server/             # folder pointed to master branch with sources
/Bonobo-Git-Server/output       # generated folder by nanoc that points to git gh-pages branch

Installation

You need to have a ruby installed -- version 2.2.6. For Windows use RubyInstaller. For UNIX I recommend using rbenv and ruby-build.

After checking that ruby is installed and the version matches with ruby -v install bundler.

gem install bundler

Next thing is cloning the project and it's gh-pages branch.

git clone https://github.com/jakubgarfield/Bonobo-Git-Server-Web.git
cd Bonobo-Git-Server-Web
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/jakubgarfield/Bonobo-Git-Server-Web.git -b "gh-pages" output

In ruby the dependencies are called ruby gems (stored in Gemfile) and installed with bundler. In the project directory run the following:

bundle install            # installs dependencies
bundle exec nanoc         # starts nanoc compilation
bundle exec nanoc view    # starts localhost:3000 server to check the result

Every time you make a change run bundle exec nanoc to compile it to the output and if you run bundle exec nanoc view (you can keep it running in another terminal window) you can browse http://localhost:3000 to check the website.

Publishing new version

• add the new zipped version to content/resources/releases/
• change content/index.erb to point to the new version
• update content/changelog.md to reflect the new release

After that you can run . deploy.sh "Release X.X.X" to publish the changes if you are on UNIX machine or publish to gh-pages branch manually.

# commit changes to master branch
git add .
git commit -m "Release X.X.X"
git push origin master

# compile the site and remove obsolete files
bundle exec nanoc
bundle exec nanoc prune --yes

# publish to github pages
cd output
git add .
git commit - m "Release X.X.X"
git push origin gh-pages
