The Rust blog

This is the blog of the Rust Programming Language.

It's implemented as a small static site generator, that's deployed to GitHub Pages via GitHub Actions.

Building

To build the site locally:

$ git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/blog.rust-lang.org
$ cd blog.rust-lang.org
$ cargo run

You could do it in release mode if you'd like, but it's pretty fast in debug.

From there, the generated HTML will be in a site directory. Open site/index.html in your web browser to view the site.

$ firefox site/index.html

You can also run a server, if you need to preview your changes on a different machine:

$ cargo run -p serve
Serving on: http://192.168.123.45:8000
