# CoTech Website

## Introduction

This is a port of the current Wordpress version of the [CoTech Website][] to a statically-generated site using [Jekyll][].

## Run the site locally

You can run the site on your computer as if it were live online using Jekyll. You will need `git` and `ruby` installed on your machine to do this. Then clone the repository

    git clone git@git.coop:cotech/website.git

Install the dependencies for the project

    cd website
    gem install bundler
    bundle install

Run a local web server so that you can view the site

    bundle exec jekyll server

And visit [localhost:4000](http://localhost:4000) to view the site.

## Deploy CI

When changes are committed to the `master` branch the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file triggers the building of the site and then the copying of the results to https://static.coops.tech/ and when changes are committed to the `dev` branch the site at https://dev.static.coops.tech/ is updated.
