You need either a working Ruby environment with Jekyll installed or Docker to build and preview the site locally.
This repository contains the source code for Swift.org, the official website for the Swift programming language. The site serves as the central hub for anyone curious about Swift, offering a welcoming entry point for new learners while providing current users with guides, documentation, and feature announcements. It also acts as a resource for people who want to contribute to the language's ongoing development, offering project governance details and technical contribution guides. At its core, the website is built using Jekyll, a tool that takes text files and templates and turns them into ready-to-serve web pages. Because it is a static site generator, the final website is just a collection of pre-built pages that load quickly and are straightforward to host. The project relies on Ruby, the programming language Jekyll is written in, to process and build the site locally before publishing. The primary users of this repository are people who want to contribute to the Swift community's online presence. For example, a developer who noticed a typo in a tutorial or someone writing a guide for a new Swift feature could download this code, make their changes, and submit them for review. It allows the broader community to maintain and update the official documentation collaboratively rather than relying on a single closed team. The project is designed to be accessible for contributors with varying levels of technical comfort. You can run a local copy of the site on your computer using standard Ruby tools, or you can use Docker, which packages everything you need into a self-contained environment without worrying about installing specific software versions. The README doesn't go into detail about the site's design architecture, but it makes it clear that the goal is lowering the barrier to entry for community contributions.
