Background on technology

This site uses Just the Docs for its template.

If Jekyll is installed on your computer, you can build and preview the created site locally. This lets you test changes before committing them, and avoids waiting for GitHub Pages. And you will be able to deploy your local build to a different platform than GitHub Pages.
