1. Using GitHub's nifty file editor, which is quick but limited:

   

2. Using Gitpod which gives you a preconfigured IDE and live preview. This is quick and you can see your changes:

   

3. Setting the website up locally, which is more technical.

Code & Design The Website

To contribute to the website, you'll need some basic terminal skills and knowledge of web development technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The open source design.net website is built with the following tools:

• Jekyll
• Bootstrap

Installing

Before you begin, ensure you have a Ruby development environment and Git installed and configured to connect to GitHub with SSH.

Prerequisites

• Ruby: Jekyll requires Ruby version 2.5.0 or higher.
• RubyGems: Ruby package manager.
• GCC and Make: Essential for compiling native extensions.

You can install these dependencies using the following guides:

• Installing Ruby
• Using GitHub with SSH

Installation Steps

1. Install Bundler and Jekyll

First, install Bundler, which manages Ruby dependencies:

sudo gem install bundler

2. Fork and clone the main website repository

git clone --single-branch --branch master https://github.com/opensourcedesign/opensourcedesign.github.io.git
cd opensourcedesign.github.io/
bundle install

3. Clone the jobs repository

Currently the job board is still a separate repository, but we plan to move it in here.

git clone https://github.com/opensourcedesign/jobs.git

4. Build the static site & watch for files

bundler exec jekyll serve --watch --config _config.yml,_config-dev.yml
