| To locally view a jekyll website, type this in the base directory of the website repository: | |
| jekyll server --watch --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4000 | |
| Then to view the website, go to this address: | |
| http://127.0.0.1:4000 | |
| If you change files on the website, the --watch option will recompile | |
| the website without the need to restart the local jekyll server. | |
| The compiled website will be placed in a directory called _site. Add | |
| this directory to the .gitignore file so that it is not accidentally | |
| added to the repository. |

Jekyll sometimes sets the host to 0.0.0.0 by default, but Chrome will not allow this address. So giving --host 127.0.0.1 as an option will ensure that it is useable in Chrome.
