Building The Website
Clone Repository
git clone https://dev.libertytools.io/adminuser/libertytoolsio.git
Run Makefile
The Makefile in the root of the directory will run the following two commands:
hugo server &
npx -y pagefind --site public --serve
The first command will run and compile the hugo website and any changes made. The second command will build and re-index the search bar index.
To build the website, simply run
make run
in the project root to run those two commands found in the Makefile.
Viewing Changes to Website Locally
After running the Makefile you should get an output like this"
hugo server &
npx -y pagefind --site public --serve
