Run locally

To run locally:

1. Get the content from the downstream repos.

   ./get-content.sh
   

2. Build and serve locally.

   bundle exec jekyll serve --config _config.yml,staticman.yml
   

   Use this format to turn on production features:

   JEKYLL_ENV=production bundle exec jekyll serve --config _config.yml
   

Deploy via Netlify

To deploy to Netlify:

1. Build the site.

   JEKYLL_ENV=production bundle exec jekyll build --config _config.yml
   

2. Force add the _site directory.

   git push -f origin
   

Test a Deploy with Surge

cd _site
surge

surge --domain raspy-songs.surge.sh

To generate the CLI json manually

The _data/cliRef.json file is generated from the blockstack-cli subcommand docs. This data file is consumed by the _includes/commandline.md file which is used to serve up the reference.

1. Install the latest version of the cli according to the instructions at: https://github.com/blockstack/cli-blockstack

2. Generate the json for the cli in the docs.blockstack repo.

   $ blockstack-cli docs | python -m json.tool > _data/cliRef.json 
   

3. Make sure the generated docs are clean by building the documentation.

   If you run into any problem in the generation usually it results from a problem in the repo. You can make a pull request back to the repo to fix anything.

Clarity Reference

As of 8/12/19 Clarity is in the develop branch of core. You can build the Clarity command line from the Docker image. core/src/vm/docs/mod.rs

1. Pull the latest developer preview from the Docker Hub.

   $ docker pull blockstack/blockstack-core:clarity-developer-preview
   

2. Build the lastest JSON.

   docker run -it blockstack/blockstack-core:clarity-developer-preview blockstack-core docgen | jsonpp > ~/repos/docs.blockstack/_data/clarityRef.json
   

3. Build the documentation and verify the Clarity reference is building correctly.

4. Make changes in core

5. Build the docker image

6. Run doc gen with the new image

   $ docker run --name docsbuild -it blockstack-test blockstack-core docgen | jsonpp > ~/repos/docs.blockstack/_data/clarityRef.json
   

To view the clarity cli

You can view the source code.

1. Pull the Blockstack core clarity-developer-preview image from Docker Hub.

    $ docker pull blockstack/blockstack-core:clarity-developer-preview
   

2. Start the Blockstack Core test environment with a Bash shell.

   $ docker run -it -v $HOME/blockstack-dev-data:/data/ blockstack/blockstack-core:clarity-developer-preview bash
   

   The command launches a container with the Clarity test environment and opens a bash shell into the container.

3. Run the clarity-cli in the shell.

   root@5b9798633251:/src/blockstack-core# clarity-cli
