Running the site

1. In the root of the project, start a [server] (3fa2e7dc1f/.functions (L25-L32)).

• It's easier if your server can also do a directory listing.

1. Open http://localhost:8000/docs/_preview.html
2. You will see the boilerplate along with a directory listing
3. Click one of them.
4. It should bring you to a url like http://localhost:8000/docs/_preview.html?settings.html

• you can navigate to this directly if you like
• it looks like this
• Things mostly work.

Deployment

Paul or Addy does the work of pushing this stuff live.

• check last commit in google3 via git log, get the SHA
• pull in latest from GH
• g4 add/edit changed things
  • look for changed items by find . -type f -perm 0640
  • compare URL from last commit to master: github.com/GoogleChrome/devtools-docs/compare/<SHA>...master, Files Changed, Show Diff Stats
• check git status and p4 status
• g4 change, imgsquish, g4 mail
• commit any changed images back to GH

Troublshooting

• Make sure you've created CLs with any imported GH changes.
• devsite publish all relevant files.
