Development Setup

Option 1: Podman preview (no local Ruby setup)

make preview-podman

Preview URL: http://localhost:8080

Stop it with:

make stop-podman

Option 2: Local Jekyll preview (faster edit loop)

Install dependencies:

make setup-local

Run preview:

make preview-local

Preview URL: http://127.0.0.1:4000

For live reload, use:

make preview-live

Default livereload port: 35730 (override with make preview-live LIVERELOAD_PORT=35731)

If make preview-local says Missing 'observer' gem, run:

gem install observer

Recommended Workflow Before Pushing To main

1. Create a branch: git checkout -b feature/<name>
2. Make edits and preview continuously with make preview-local or make preview-podman
3. Run a production-style check: make build-local
4. Commit and push your branch, then open a PR into main
