+# GoodDocs Project -- Site
+
+Currently this repository serves as the homepage for [The Good Docs Project](https://thegooddocsproject.dev/)
+
+
+## Building Jekyll
+
+There is an assumption here you have setup a ruby environment previously.  Those instructions unfortunately are out of scope for this project.
+
+The current ruby version is `2.6.3` and Bundle `2.1.4`.  If you make updates to the `Gemlock` file please update this readme.
+
+```shell
+# install gems
+gem install
+
+# install pacakge using bundle
+bundle install
+
+# Build the content -- this sources the markdown and writes html to `_site/`
+bundle exec jekyll build
+
+# Takes the build at `_site/` and mounts it to a web-server
+bundle exec jekyll serve
+```
+
