We love open source contributors! Feel free to take on open issues that are marked help wanted or open new issues. Please comment on the issue to be assigned to work on it as well as if you need more clarification. You can also reach out to @meg-gutshall via the Ruby for Good Slack.

When submitting your pull request, please submit to the dev branch as this is our working branch.

Fork this repository and clone it down to your computer. Create a new branch that describes what you're working on. Then, run bundle install and npm install to make sure you have all the gems and packages you need.

We built this site using Jekyll and it's hosted via GitHub pages. We used Ruby with Bundler on the initial build and have since added NodeJS. We've included dot files that support both rbenv (.ruby-version) and asdf (.tool-versions) ruby managers for your convenience.

• Ruby 2.7.1
• Bundler 2.1.4
• NodeJS 16.1.0
• NPM 7.22.0

To run the website locally, type npm run test in your terminal and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:4000/ to see the site in your browser. A reload will be triggered every time you change the code in you editor.

We have also implemented some tools that check the files for syntax issues and autocorrect them whenever possible. These are called linters and they will automatically check any files you have staged for a commit.

If you'd like to lint your code before you stage it, you can do so with the following commands:

npm run lint        // Lints all files (i.e. corrects them syntactically for this codebase)
npm run lint:js     // Applies to JS files only
npm run lint:style  // Applies to CSS and SCSS files only
npm run lint:text   // Applies to Markdown files only
npm run prettier    // Formats and styles all files

You will not be able to successfully commit your work until all errors are cleared.

Please see our newly created Ruby for Good Website Wiki to learn more about the project! Content will be continually added there. Also keep an eye out for project boards in the future!
