Local preview

./bin/serve_localhost_4000

This script uses chruby-exec to run each command under Ruby 3.1.3, installs bundler, runs bundle install, starts Jekyll, and opens the browser.

.ruby-version is also present for tools that read it automatically (Cursor's Ruby LSP, chruby auto.sh).

For drafts and live reload, run Jekyll directly:

bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload --drafts

Theme

This site uses minima — the default Jekyll blog theme. It provides post, page, and default layouts.

Dependency maintenance

Update all gems to their latest allowed versions:

bundle update

Check for outdated gems:

bundle outdated

After updating, verify locally with ./bin/serve_localhost_4000 before committing Gemfile.lock.

Update minima alone:

bundle update minima

Publishing

For the full publish workflow (symlinks, front matter, commit conventions, cross-repo coordination), see the writing repo: HOWTO_publish_blog_post.md

Blog repo bookkeeping steps

1. Preview locally before pushing:

   ./bin/serve_localhost_4000

   Or with drafts and live reload:

   bundle exec jekyll serve --livereload --drafts

2. Verify the post appears at http://localhost:4000

3. Push to publish — GitHub Pages builds and deploys automatically:

   git push

4. Verify live at https://MichaelRWolf.github.io
