Developer notes

Gitpod

This repository supports contribution using gitpod which is online IDE using Theia.

To open-up the environment simple natigate on https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/rstacruz/cheatsheets

Or using a button:

Preview built website

To preview the website you need to first build it then you can navigate to file that you are trying to contribute and preview directly.

Starting a local instance

This starts Jekyll and Parcel. This requires recent versions of Node.js, Yarn, Ruby and Bundler installed.

yarn install
bundle install
env PORT=4001 yarn run dev

Docker

You can also run a local instance using Docker. This is the preferred method, especially for Windows.
You only need to install Docker (macOS, Windows, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, other).

First time setup:

# Build images (takes ~12mins)
docker-compose build

# First-time setup
docker-compose run --rm web bundle install && docker-compose run --rm web yarn install

Starting the server:

docker-compose up

CSS classes

See https://devhints.io/cheatsheet-styles for a reference on styling.

JavaScript

When updating JavaScript, be sure Parcel is running (yarn dev takes care of this).

This auto-updates /assets/packed/ and _includes/2017/critical/ with sources in _parcel/.

Before committing, run yarn parcel:build first.

JavaScript tests

There are also automated tests:

yarn run test --watch

Forking

So you want to fork this repo? Sure, here’s what you need to know to whitelabel this:

It’s all GitHub pages, so the branch has to be gh-pages.
All other GitHub pages gotchas apply (CNAME, etc).
Edit everything in _data/ - this holds all ‘config’ for the site: ad IDs, strings, etc.
Edit _config.yml as well, lots of things may not apply to you.

The site devhints.io is backed by CloudFlare. Updates will take 2 days to propagate to the website by default. To make sure recent changes will propagate, use this helper script. It will give instructions on how manual selective cache purging can be done.
