Welcome to the GitHub repository for the Australasian Evolution Society Website. This repository houses the source code and assets for the official website of the Australasian Evolution Society (AES).
The Australasian Evolution Society is a learned society founded in 1999. We are devoted to bringing evolutionary biologists together to promote intellectual exchange and to foster and advance evolutionary biology.
Our Mission is to promote the scientific study of evolution, the discussion of the scientific findings of its members, and their dissemination to the wider public.
To set up the AES website locally for development or testing purposes, follow the instructions below.
- Install Ruby. For more information, see "Installing Ruby" in the Ruby documentation.
- Install Bundler. For more information, see "Bundler."
- Install Jekyll. We recommend using Bundler to install and run Jekyll. Bundler manages Ruby gem dependencies, reduces Jekyll build errors, and prevents environment-related bugs.
