kcc-gem-theme

This theme's GitHub repo has all the Gulp, npm, & Webpack dependancies included to compile & view it in a browser, just like our new sites, for convenient development and previewing of changes.

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem "kcc-gem-theme"

And add this line to your Jekyll site's _config.yml:

theme: kcc-gem-theme

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install kcc-gem-theme

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/[USERNAME]/hello. This project is intended to be a safe, welcoming space for collaboration, and contributors are expected to adhere to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct.

This Gem Theme project is setup just like other KCC projects. You can run $ npm run dev, $ npm run production, $ npx webpack, or $ gulp.

1. Run the command below to work on development of the theme and live preview it at http://localhost:3000.

$ npm run dev

# A convenient alias:
alias npm-d="npm run dev"

2. Once satisfied with the changes run a production build and look at the preview to make sure everything is ok.

$ npm run production

# A convenient alias:
alias npm-p="npm run production"

3. (Optional) Make a new version release: Up the version in the kcc-gem-theme.gemspec file.

### Example .gemspec file ###
# frozen_string_literal: true

Gem::Specification.new do |spec|
  spec.name          = "kcc-gem-theme"
  spec.version       = "0.4.4" # increase the appropriate number following semantic versioning
# ...
### Remainder of .gemspec file omitted. ###

4. Push the changes to GitHub.

git add .
git commit -m "<you commit message>"
git push origin master

5. Build them gem.

$ gem build kcc-gem-theme.gemspec

# should return something like:
Successfully built RubyGem
Name: kcc-gem-theme
Version: 0.4.4
File: kcc-gem-theme-0.4.4.gem

6. Push the resulting gem to RubyGems.

gem push kcc-gem-theme-0.4.4.gem

# should return something like:
Pushing gem to https://rubygems.org...
Successfully registered gem: kcc-gem-theme (0.4.4)

7. Update projects using the gem.

<username> @ <computername> in ~repositories/kcc-startup-template
$ bundle update
Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/...........

# ...

On your next build you should see any new changes to gem theme.

When your theme is released, only the files in _layouts, _includes, _sass and assets tracked with Git will be bundled. To add a custom directory to your theme-gem, please edit the regexp in kcc-gem-theme.gemspec accordingly.
