Basic template project for HTML & CSS projects

Static Site Template

In order to properly develop a website, HTML and CSS files must be sent to your browser by a web server. This little template uses a ruby web server, and serves your plain HTML and CSS files from the public/ directory.

It's stolen from inspired by Heroku's excellent template.

How to set up

1. Fork this repository, and name your fork after your project.
2. Clone your fork into your machine. (git clone <your-ssh-url>)
3. cd your_project_name.
4. Run bundle install. You only need to do this once.
5. To start the local server, run rackup -p 3000 from the project directory. This will start the server on port 3000 of your machine.

If you are running this on your local machine, you can then visit http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see your code.

If you add an HTML file to the public/ folder, you can see it in your browser by visiting http://localhost:3000/your_file.html.

If you are using Nitrous.io, you can click "Preview - Port 3000" to view your site.
