Dev Setup

• Install Ruby > 2.7 - Preferrably with rbenv
• Run bundle to install dependencies
• Run bundle exec jekyll serve to start server on localhost:4000

Dev Containers (Recommended Approach)

• Pre-requisites - Docker Desktop
• Visual Studio Code 3
• Open Project in VSCode
• VSCode will ask you install necessary extensions and open in dev container. If not install "Visual Studio Code Remote - Containers" - https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers
• The Terminal inside VSCode is mapped to Docker Container. Run below commands in that terminal.
  • bundle to install dependencies
  • bundle exec jekyll serve to start server
    • Click on the "localhost:4000" link in terminal to launch it in browser at the ephemeral port
    • On my machine it is forwarded to localhost:4001
  • You can even push to GitHub inside this terminal because Dockerfile maps your keys

Reference - How to DevContainers for the first time for Jekyll Projects

• Cmd + Shift + P and run Remote-Containers: Add Development Container Configuration Files...
• Search for Jekyll and Choose bullseye
• This will add the .devcontainers folder with necessary configs, re-open project in container
