Step 1 – Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/MariekeVDA/MariekeVDA.github.io.git
cd MariekeVDA.github.io

Step 2 – Install Ruby and Bundler

GitHub Pages uses Jekyll, which requires Ruby. Install it with your system’s package manager:

macOS (Homebrew)

brew install ruby
gem install bundler

Ubuntu / Debian

sudo apt-get install ruby-full build-essential
gem install bundler

Windows Download and install Ruby from rubyinstaller.org.

---

Step 3 – Install Dependencies

Create a Gemfile (if one does not exist) with:

source "https://rubygems.org"
gem "github-pages", group: :jekyll_plugins

Then run:

bundle install

---

Step 4 – Serve the Site Locally

bundle exec jekyll serve

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:4000. The site will automatically reload when you save changes.

---

Deploying to GitHub Pages

Just push your changes to the main branch:

git add .
git commit -m "Update documentation"
git push origin main

GitHub Pages will build and publish your site automatically within a minute or two.
