Thinking Spatially Toolkit

This repo is meant be a landing page for learning about starting your work using spatial information at Stanford Libraries.

Inspired by: https://dh.sites.gettysburg.edu/toolkit/

Uses the Chulapa Jekyll theme.

Prerequisites

• Ruby
• Git
• Git Bash (if on Windows)
• Code editor such as VScode

Initial Setup for a new user

cd /path/to/desired/folder
git clone https://github.com/J-ok-git/thinking-spatially-toolkit.git
cd thinking-spatially-toolkit

# Install gems from Gemfile including Jekyll
bundle install

How to serve the website locally?

1. Run bundle exec jekyll serve --watch --incremental in Git bash in the repository root
2. Open http://127.0.0.1:4000 in your browser

Since we are running this with the --watch flag, it will automatically update the ;local website in your browser when you make a change.

The --incremental flag enables incremental compilation which makes it faster to update the website when you make a change as it only recompiles the files that changed.
