Setup

You'll want to do the usual bundle to get the necessary gems. The first time you clone this repo, you may want to set up your _deploy directory so that you can build the site without Jenkins' help.

To do so, run bin/setup-deploy. This creates the _deploy subdirectory that rake generate (from Octopress) will populate with the built site. You always want to be on the master branch in _deploy, since that's where the static files get committed.

Creating posts

Writing always happens in the source branch. To create a new post, run the following command:

bundle exec rake new_post['My Post Title']

This will create a .markdown file in source/_posts/ that includes the current date and a slugified version of the post title.

When you are ready for your post to be reviewed, push to gerrit:

git push gerrit

Publishing

When you are ready to see your new content on the blog, run the following command:

bundle exec rake deploy

This will push straight to production, bypassing code review. Any local posts that aren't marked as unpublished, even ones that are untracked, will be live on the website.
