Hey there! This is the GitHub project for the SHAD @ Mac News team. It features a robust headline system, news updates, a picture of the day, and other information. It was used at SHAD @ McMaster 2016 Campus, by the SHAD @ Mac News team. The site was primarily designed by Matthew Wang (@malsf21).

This website was built with Jekyll, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and other web technologies in combination with those core elements.

Setup is pretty easy:

Want to run your own copy of this jekyll site? No problem. You'll need a few things:

• Ruby, to install Jekyll
• Jekyll, to build and run the website
• Git, to clone this repository
• A Browser, to view the website of course!

First things first, we need to install Jekyll. We assume that you have Git and Ruby installed. If you don't, please visit the links above to install them. We also assume you're using a Unix-based system; if you aren't, follow jekyll's alternatives instruction page.

Type in your command line:

gem install jekyll

After Jekyll completes its setup, clone the git repository:

git clone https://github.com/malsf21/shad-news.git

Then, cd into the repository:

cd shad-news

Inside the repository, all you'll need to do is "serve" the site. Type the following into your command line:

jekyll serve

After that, you should get a response that looks something like this:

jekyll serve
Configuration file: /var/www/html/shad-news/_config.yml
            Source: /var/www/html/shad-news
       Destination: /var/www/html/shad-news/_site

  Server running... press ctrl-c to stop.

Visit what follows the "Server address:" line (which is normally http://127.0.0.1:4000/shadnews/, but that might change soon)!

And voila! Everything should work for you. If something isn't, please let me know on our issues tracker.
