CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Overview

This is a Jekyll-based static site generator for a personal blog/portfolio hosted on GitHub Pages at https://icpc.cloud. The site uses Less for CSS preprocessing, includes PWA support, and is deployed automatically from the master branch.

Common Development Commands

• npm start - Start Jekyll development server (preview at http://localhost:4000)
• npm run dev - Watch files and start development server
• npm run push - Push changes to master with tags for deployment

Required Dependencies

• Ruby (for Jekyll)
• Jekyll (Ruby gem)
• Node.js and NPM
• Grunt CLI (for task automation)

Install Node dependencies with: npm install

Project Structure & Architecture

Jekyll Directory Structure

The project follows standard Jekyll conventions:

• _posts/ - Blog post markdown files (named: YYYY-MM-DD-filename.md)
• _layouts/ - Page layout templates (post, page, default layouts)
• _includes/ - Reusable template components
• _data/ - Jekyll data files for dynamic content
• _config.yml - Main Jekyll configuration (site metadata, plugins, analytics setup)

Frontend Assets

• /css/ - Compiled CSS output
• /less/ - Less source files (compile to CSS)
• /js/ - JavaScript files
• /img/ - Image assets
• /resources/ - Additional resources
• /pwa/ - Progressive Web App files

Build Configuration

• package.json - Node dependencies and npm scripts
• Gruntfile.js - Grunt task automation configuration

Key Architectural Points

1. Static Generation: Jekyll generates static HTML from templates and markdown posts. No server-side processing.
2. CSS Preprocessing: Less files in /less/ are compiled to CSS via Grunt. Edit .less files, not the compiled CSS directly.
3. Git-based Workflow: Content is managed via Git. Pushing to master triggers GitHub Pages automatic deployment.
4. Jekyll Plugins: Configured in _config.yml for features like syntax highlighting, pagination, and markdown rendering.

Contributing Guidelines

Follow this workflow for contributions:

1. Fork the repository to your account
2. Clone and add upstream remote: git remote add source [email protected]:DocsHome/CGITJ.github.io.git
3. Make changes and commit with descriptive messages: git commit -am "Fix issue #X: description"
4. Push to your fork and submit a pull request
5. Regularly sync with upstream: git fetch source && git rebase source/master && git push -f origin master
