Serving locally
While you're creating content for your library, you'll probably want to see what the finished product looks like. Fortunately, Infusion is easy to serve locally using the serve command:
{{}}npm run serve{{}}
This will serve your working library on localhost:1313. Whenever you make changes to your library's files, the site will automatically rebuild. No need to refresh the web page!
Publishing on Github Pages
The easiest way to host your pattern library so you have a link to share is to run the host command. This will build the library and push it to the local Github repository's gh-pages branch.
{{}}npm run host{{}}
You should now be able to find a "live" version of your library at github.io/[your username]/[your library repo' name].
{{% warning %}}
The host command force pushes the contents of the public folder to gh-pages. This is not in itself problematic since nothing is overwritten on the master branch. However, be aware that the command does not push your master branch changes to origin. You still have to commit and push any changes you've made locally.
