## Serving locally

While you’re creating content for your project, 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 project from `localhost:1313`. Whenever you make changes to your files, the site will automatically rebuild. No need to refresh the web page!

## Publishing on Github Pages

Infusion creates a `/docs` folder containing the latest version of your site whenever you do an `npm run build` or a `git commit`. So long as you forked the Infusion repository when making your own version (see
Setup), whenever you push to master, you will also be updating the site found at your Github Pages URL.

This URL will be in the following format:

    [your user name].github.io/[your library repo name]

You’ll also need to add this value to your `config.toml` file as the `baseURL`. For Infusion’s own documentation it looks like the following. Just overwrite it.

    baseURL = "https://thepaciellogroup.github.io/infusion/"

If you created a new repo’ manually (without forking) you will find the `docs` folder is not automatically setup as the publishing source. This folder can be made the source for your Github Pages site by selecting it under Settings → Github Pages → Source in the web interface.
