Bridgetown

Bridgetown is a next-generation, progressive site generator & fullstack framework, powered by Ruby. Bridgetown takes your local content and external data loaded from APIs; renders templates in Markdown, ERB, and many other formats; automatically compiles frontend assets via esbuild; and exports a complete website ready to be served by fast CDNs like Render or traditional web servers. Bridgetown also integrates closely with Roda for fullstack, dynamic web application functionality—but only when and where you need it.

Testing Locally

If you'd like to hack away on Bridgetown directly, you'll need to clone this repo and ensure the test suite passes. Note that this is a "monorepo", meaning that multiple Rubygem codebases are stored within a single repo.

$ git clone git@github.com:bridgetownrb/bridgetown.git
$ cd bridgetown
$ bundle # install development gems
$ bundle exec rake # run the full test suite

After making changes in one of the gems, say bridgetown-core, if you want to run a single unit test, you can use the command:

$ script/test test/test_foo.rb

Or run script/test to run the full test suite. You can also run script/cibuild to include Rubocop linting, etc., and at the root level of the repo, run bundle exec rake test_all to test the entire monorepo.

To switch one of your own website repos to using the local gem, add the local gem path to the site's Gemfile as follows:

gem "bridgetown-core", path: "/path/to/bridgetown/bridgetown-core"
# additional gems as needed
