To install the project's dependencies. After installing, you can run the project locally with the command:

Contributing

To create a post yourself you can create a new .md file in the directory public/posts, the filename will be the slug that's used to navigate to the article on the website. Image assets can be added to the directory public/images. Once you're done with your post, it seems like you also need to run node ./generate-rss.mjs to update the RSS feed.

Testing

Before you deploy please run your post in your local env to check if the appearance is good enough to be published. In order to run the blog locally just do the following:

yarn next build
yarn start

NB: Remember to rebuild everytime you change something on your post

The PR environment has an issue rendering the header image. This is a known issue and doesn't exist when publishing to the actual site (see below).

Publishing

When your post is ready and reviewed, you can merge it with master and simply:

yarn deploy

Your post will appear at https://vandebron.tech/.
