Just the Class is built for Jekyll, a static site generator. View the quick start guide for more information. Just the Docs requires no special Jekyll plugins and can run on GitHub Pages' standard Jekyll compiler.

  1. Follow the GitHub documentation for Setting up your GitHub Pages site locally with Jekyll.
  2. Start your local Jekyll server.
$ bundle exec jekyll serve
  1. Point your web browser to http://localhost:4000
  2. Reload your web browser after making a change to preview its effect.

For more information, refer to Just the Docs.
