Local development

If you want to run this Jekyll site locally (macOS / zsh), the easiest way is to use Bundler and the included Makefile.

Prerequisites:

  • Ruby (macOS ships with a system Ruby; using a Ruby version manager such as rbenv or asdf is recommended)
  • Bundler (install with gem install bundler if needed)

Basic steps:

  1. Install dependencies:

make install

  1. Serve the site locally with live reload:

make serve

  1. Build the static site into _site:

make build

  1. Clean generated files:

make clean

Notes:

  • The Makefile runs bundle install into vendor/bundle so you don’t need system-wide gem installs.

  • If you prefer not to use the Makefile, you can run the commands directly:

    bundle config set –local path β€˜vendor/bundle’ bundle install bundle exec jekyll serve –livereload

If you run into permission errors when installing gems globally, use a Ruby version manager or install gems into the project (the Makefile above does this by default).

Hello World

  • πŸ’¬ Ask me about testing, CI/CD at scale, or turning flaky tests into useful ones.
  • ⚑ Fun fact: if your test suite can’t fail fast, it will fail loudly.
