This is where the ChaosCoffeeControl website is hosted. It uses OctoPress (http://octopress.org/) for generating the pages.

TODO: Describe how to publish new content

Preparing your machine

Follow the OctoPress installation instruction. You need to install RVM and some dependencies. I used roughly:

$ bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)

Follow the on-screen install instructions.

$ rvm rvmrc trust
$ rvm reload
$ rvm install 1.9.2
$ rvm use 1.9.2
$ gem install bundler
# cd to chaoscoffeecontrol.github.com clone
$ bundle install # installs all dependencies of octopress

The output of the last step looks like this:

Your bundle is complete! Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.

Clone the website repo

You need a local copy of the chaoscoffeecontrol git:

$ git clone git@github.com:ChaosCoffeeControl/chaoscoffeecontrol.github.com.git

Switch to the source branch. Here all the content is produced:

$ git checkout -t origin/source

Your repository should look like this:

$ ls
CHANGELOG.markdown	        README.markdown		config.ru
Gemfile			Rakefile		plugins
Gemfile.lock		_config.yml
README			config.rb

You can now work on the source checkout and create new posts. For deployment, you need to have a parallel checkout of the master branch:

$ git clone git@github.com:ChaosCoffeeControl/chaoscoffeecontrol.github.com _deploy
$ rake config_deploy[master] 

Now, you can edit posts. See [http://octopress.org/docs/blogging/] for more information.
