Getting started

Before you can write your blogpost and get started, you need to follow these steps:

Only once:

1. Fork the epages-devblog repository.
2. Clone the repository.

$ git clone git@github.com:ePages-de/epages-devblog.git

3. Install Docker for Mac or for Windows.

Everytime you write a blog post:

1. Name your file according to the following structure: YYYY-MM-DD-the-title-of-your-post.md
   For example: 2017-09-12-five-compelling-reasons-why-you-should-care-about-terminology.md
   Note: Use the date, the post will be published, NOT the date you started writing.

2. Save your file in /posts/2017/.

3. Enter the folder

$ cd epages-devblog

4. Run the folder with $ docker-compose up.
   --> Using this virtual machine, you do not have to install Ruby, Jekyll or anything else yourself.

5. Go to http://localhost:4000/ to preview your blogpost. To speed everything up, only the blog post of the previous and the current month as well as the index page were built.
