This repository contains the source code for retrylife.ca, @ewpratten's personal website.
Development
To begin developing with this project, the following are required:
Starting up the workspace
Once the prerequisite programs are installed, clone this repo to your computer, and open it with VsCode. A small box will pop up in the lower right of your screen asking if you would like to re-open the project in a devcontainer. Once accepting that box, VsCode will reload, and start download all the dependancies and tools needed for development. This will take a few minutes, and there will be a progress bar in the lower right corner of the screen.
The development process
Once you have loaded the workspace, press Ctrl+Shift+P, type run task, and press Enter. This will open the project tasks menu. This is where you can interact with the build tools. The first time you load the project, you will need to select Update dependencies, and run it without scanning task output. This will load the needed Ruby libraries for the website.
Once done, open the tasks menu again, and start the server with the Start local server command. The website will now be live at localhost:4000.
