This is an web site project based on Awestruct. It generates the complete web site and documentation of the Netty project.
To contribute to the project documentation, simply fork this repository and issue a pull request.
Your system must have a working Ruby installation (1.9+) because Awestruct is written in Ruby. You can install Awestruct using the bundle command:
$ bundle install
First, fork the official repository and clone it into your local storage:
$ git clone git@github.com:<username>/netty-website.git
Switch to your newly cloned repository and add netty-website as a remote
cd netty-website/
git remote add upstream git://github.com/netty/netty-website
Optionally, you may wish to create a branch if you are planning multiple contributions. Please choose the branch name wisely because everyone will see it.
$ git fetch upstream
$ git checkout -b <branchName> upstream/master
Modify the web site files as you wish.
To test locally, start the embedded web server using Awestruct.
$ cd netty-website
$ bundle exec awestruct --auto --server -u https://netty.io
The web site will be available at http://localhost:4242/
When the embedded Awestruct web server is running, changes you make will trigger a re-generation of the web site. Wait for this to complete before refreshing your browser to see your changes.
To commit all your changes:
$ git commit -a
Next, push your changes back to your fork on github. You only need to supply a branch name if you previously created a branch.
$ git push origin <branchName>
Lastly, submit a pull request from your repository. Make sure to make the pull request using the branch you used for the guide.
Only those with commit access will be able to perform this step.
Run the _bin/deploy.sh script with the path to the Github Pages repository:
$ cd netty-website
$ _bin/deploy.sh ../netty.github.com
The example above copies the generated web site into the local Github Pages repository located at ../netty.github.com, and pushes all the changes to origin.
