# Project Zeppelin / GDG DevFest 2014 site template

### About 
Project Zeppelin allows you to setup awesome GDG DevFest site in 5 minutes. 

Project is builded on top of [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com/) - simple, blog-aware, static site generator. Jekyll also happens to be the engine behind GitHub Pages, which means you can use Jekyll to host your website from GitHub’s servers for free. [Learn more about Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com/).

Template is brought by [GDG Lviv](http://lviv.gdg.org.ua/) team.

## Local development

Check if you have [all requirments for local environment](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/), install [Jekyll server](http://jekyllrb.com/docs/quickstart/) gem and run this command from project root folder:

```bash
    jekyll serve -w
```
Site will be available at http://127.0.0.1:4000/zeppelin/

**NOTE:** in this mode all changes to html and data files will be automatically regenerated, but after changing ```_config.yml``` you have to restart server.

### Sass support
Install Sass. Ruby uses Gems to manage its various packages of code like Sass. In your open terminal window type:
```bash
	gem install sass
```

Also you need to install the latest version of [Compass](http://compass-style.org/) with command
```bash
	gem install compass --pre
```

Then for combining media queries you can use [Sass::MediaQueryCombiner](https://github.com/aaronjensen/sass-media_query_combiner) plugin. Install with command
```bash
	gem install sass-media_query_combiner
```

And for prefixing css3 properties use [Autoprefixer](https://github.com/ai/autoprefixer)
```bash
	gem install autoprefixer-rails
```

To watch changes in `.sass` files and compile it to the `.css` on a fly, run this command from `\_sass\` folder
```bash
	compass watch
```

Learn more about Sass development from [documentation](https://github.com/gdg-x/zeppelin/wiki/Sass-development).


### Resource optimizations (optional)

You can optimize images and minify css and javascript automaticaly (for now only on Windows).
Optimize all images by running this script from `/automation/images/` folder:
```bash
    all_image_optimization.bat -d -jtran -pout -pquant -optip -gsicle -svgo
```

To minify CSS and JS run `minify_all.bat` from `/automation/minifying/` folder:
```bash
    minify_all.bat
```

Learn more about available optimization options from [documentation](https://github.com/gdg-x/zeppelin/wiki/Resources-optimizations).
