Authoring content ✍️

Before you start writing take a moment to look over the web.dev handbook and familiarize yourself with the process. When you're ready, follow the steps in the Quickstart to create your content proposal.

Building the site 🏗

You'll need a recent version of Node: v12.10 or higher.

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/GoogleChrome/web.dev.git

Install dependencies

npm ci

Start a local server to preview the site

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:8080/ to see the site locally. Changes to assets will rebuild the site. Refresh to see your changes.

Environments 🌳

Set ELEVENTY_ENV=prod to force production builds. This is the default when running "stage" or "deploy". No other options for ELEVENTY_ENV are supported, although our Eleventy site config will default to 'dev' if unspecified.

Staging 🕺

When you send in a pull request it will be automatically staged for you. Keep an eye out for the netlify bot to comment on the pull request with your unique URL.

Deploying the site 🚀

Automatic deploys

The site will build and deploy the master branch automatically every hour, Mon-Fri. If you've just merged an article then it should go live at the top of the next hour.

Manual deploys

To manually deploy the site you'll need to be a member of one of these GitHub teams:

• @GoogleChrome/web-dev-admins
• @GoogleChrome/web-dev-content
• @GoogleChrome/web-dev-contributors
• @GoogleChrome/web-dev-eng
• @GoogleChrome/web-devrel

1. Navigate to the Deploy workflow in the Actions panel.
2. Click the Run workflow button. Make sure the branch says master, then click the green Run workflow button.

Debugging 🐛

If you need to debug the site's build process:

1. Add a debugger statement to .eleventy.js
2. Run npm run debug
3. Go to chrome://inspect to attach to the running process.
