Baseman

This is a base Middleman application. This sets all of the defaults that I'll generally set when building a new application on Middleman. Be sure to read all of the documentation to become familiar with Middleman before using this base setup.

Setup

gem install bundler
bundle install

Next, install Bower for JavaScript dependency management.

npm install -g bower
bower install

Running the Application

You run the application by starting the Middleman server:

middleman s

Building the Static Files

To build the static files:

middleman build

Deploying

To GitHub Pages

• Create a new file Rakefile at the root of your project, and paste the file from https://github.com/drewbarontini/baseman-deploy/blob/master/github.rake
• Replace the REPO_URL with your repositorie's URL. This assumes that you have a gh-pages branch that is serving up your site.
• You can now deploy by running rake deploy from your project's root.

To FTP Server Using rsync

Requirement: You'll need to have SSH access to your server.

• Create a new file Rakefile at the root of your project, and paste the file from https://github.com/drewbarontini/baseman-deploy/blob/master/ftp.rake
• Replace the SSH_LOGIN_PATH with your own.
• You can now deploy by running rake deploy from your project's root.

Note: There is a version for staging as well.

Middleman Deploy

Another option is the middleman-deploy extension, which provides more deployment methods for rsync, ftp, sftp or git. Be sure to check it out!

Big hat tip to Arron Mabrey for the deploy scripts :)
