The source for the main hashicorp.com website.

HashiCorp.com

This is the repository for the main HashiCorp website.

This is a Middleman project, which builds a static site from these source files. The site is hosted on Heroku and then fronted by Fastly.

Contributions Welcome!

If you find a typo or you feel like you can improve the HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, we welcome contributions. Feel free to open issues or pull requests like any normal GitHub project, and we'll merge it in.

Running the Site Locally

Running the site locally is simple. Clone this repo and run the following commands:

$ bundle
$ bundle exec middleman server

Then open up localhost:4567. Note that some URLs you may need to append ".html" to make them work (in the navigation and such).

Stylesheets

We use Less to generate site-specific stylesheets along with Bootstrap. Grunt is used to create a watcher for changes to the .less files. The watcher re-compiles the hashicorp.css file when it detects changes in the .less files.

Assuming you have npm, node.js, and Less installed, you can install and run Grunt and the watcher this way:

$ npm install -g grunt-cli
$ npm install
$ grunt

Heroku

To trigger middleman static builds on a git push, we use this buildpack: https://github.com/hashicorp/heroku-buildpack-middleman, in addition to the standard Ruby buildback. Note the example below pushes your local branch as remote master to trigger build. To run this on Heroku, enable multiple buildpacks this way:

heroku create
heroku config:add BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi.git
git push heroku <branch>:master
