- Sign up using your WeWork Google account (you may also use your personal Medium account if you already have one)
- Send an email to "dev-leads" with your Medium @username (can be found when you visit your Medium profile in the URL)
- Start writing your post and when you are added as a "Writer" to the WeWork Engineering Publications, you will be able to send your article to the Publication for review and publishing

- gem install jekyll
- gem install bundler
- bundle
- bundle exec jekyll serve --watch --drafts
If you're completely new to Jekyll, I recommend checking out the documentation at http://jekyllrb.com or there's a tutorial by Smashing Magazine.
If you don't have Jekyll already installed, you will need to go ahead and do that.
$ gem install jekyll
It's important to also check your version of Jekyll since this project uses Native Sass which is only supported by 2.0+.
$ jekyll -v
# This should be jekyll 2.0.0 or later
Then, start the Jekyll Server. I always like to give the --watch option so it updates the generated HTML when I make changes.
$ bundle exec jekyll serve --safe --watch --drafts
Now you can navigate to localhost:4000 in your browser to see the site.
NOTE: passing the --drafts flag will also load all posts inside of the _drafts folder. This is useful when you are working on a post but are not ready to publish it yet.
