US Digital Service Website

This repo is for our public-facing site, which is hosted on https://usds.gov. This site is the main funnel for USDS recruiting and outreach.

The site is built on the U.S. Web Design Standards and uses Jekyll to generate static pages.

3. Install rvm (\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | sudo bash -s stable), make your current user a member of the rvm group, and then install a new version of ruby (rvm install 2.3.1)
4. Install the bundler gem, then use bundler to install other project dependencies (gem install bundler && bundle install)
