Website of HydPy - Hyderabad Python User Group
The site uses jekyll a simple and popular static website generator which can be hosted via github pages. You can quickly start developing by pushing your code to the gh-pages branch of your repo. Then go to the Settings tab of your GitHub account, scroll down to the GitHub Pages section and choose gh-pages as source. But this will need you to push the code to gh-pages everytime you wish to test out a change.
We recommend doing development in offline. For that you need ruby to be installed in your local since jekyll is a ruby gem. Follow these steps for installation in local.
- Install Ruby 3.1.6 as per this installation guide. For Linux, Mac OSX it's preferable to use RVM and for Windows you can use RubyInstaller
