vcpkg website

Requirements:

• Docker

Build the website

To regenerate the website, run scripts/rebuild.sh from within the docker container defined by .devcontainer/Dockerfile:

docker build .devcontainer -t "vcpkg-io"
docker run -it --mount type=bind,source=.,target=/dst "vcpkg-io" bash dst/scripts/rebuild.sh

The rebuild.sh script can be modified to build a specific commit in this repository.

Start website

Run:

docker run -it --mount type=bind,source=.,target=/dst "vcpkg-io" /bin/sh -c "cd /dst; npm ci"
docker run -p 8080:8080 -it --rm --mount type=bind,src=.,target=/dst vcpkg-io /bin/sh -c "cd /dst; npm start"

Contributor Guidelines

We welcome contributions! To help maintain clarity and quality, please follow these guidelines:

• For visual or UI changes, you must include before and after screenshots in your pull request. This helps reviewers quickly understand the impact of your changes.
• If your PR claims to fix a bug, clearly describe:
  • What the bug was
  • How to reproduce it
  • Include screenshots or screen recordings that show the issue occurring, followed by the fix in action (where applicable).
• Keep commits focused and meaningful — avoid bundling unrelated changes in the same PR.
