Commands

Install dependencies

npm install

Development server

npx @11ty/eleventy --serve

Production build

npx @11ty/eleventy

Build output: _site/

Build Tailwind CSS

npx tailwindcss -i src/assets/css/input.css -o _site/assets/css/styles.css

Run Pagefind indexing (after build)

npx pagefind --site _site

Deploy (GitHub Pages)

The site auto-deploys on push to main via GitHub Pages.

git add -A
git commit -m "description of changes"
git push origin main

Remote URL

Currently HTTPS. To switch to SSH (avoids token prompts):

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:relocate-with-us/relocate-with-us.github.io.git

Key Config Notes

.eleventy.js copies src/_data/jobs.json to _site/db.json after build (legacy compatibility)
src/_data/site.json holds site metadata, social links, analytics IDs
Google Analytics: G-E6NMFQFHMZ
AdSense: ca-pub-7578309605540082
Grow.me/Mediavine Journey script is in base.njk <head>

Common Issues

| Issue | Fix | |-------|-----| | Styles missing | Run Tailwind build before/alongside Eleventy | | Search broken | Run Pagefind after Eleventy build | | db.json stale | Rebuild — it's auto-copied from jobs.json | | Push needs token | Switch remote to SSH (see above) |
