Our aim is to provide tools for women to understand technology. The Rails Girls events provide a great first experience on building the Internet.

Rails Girls was founded in end of 2010 in Helsinki. Originally intended as a onetime event. The guide has been put together to help you to get started.

You can use our materials and instructions to roll out your own workshop in your city, workplace or kitchen! If you want to read more about Rails Girls at http://railsgirls.com

To view the guides at http://guides.railsgirls.com or clone this repo and install & run jekyll

$ cd railsgirls.github.io

$ bundle install

The guides use the pygments library to do syntax highlighting. If you don't have it installed you won't be able to see the highlight sections like the following:

{% highlight %}
{% endhighlight %}

If you aren't editing the code blocks, you can safely ignore this. If you want to pygments, you can follow the install instructions in the "Pygments" section.

$ bundle exec jekyll server --watch

To wrap the keyboard shortcuts with kbd HTML tag.

To make the posts consistent in style, you can use Ctrl+C over CTRL-c/ctrl+c

To shut down the server you can hit <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd>

You might find some useful hints in this jekyll issue if it's not working as expected: Issue 503
