Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
Windows users can't use the standard build command and must run Jekyll commands manually instead.
This repository holds the website for Yarn, a package manager, a tool that developers use to download and manage code libraries for their projects. If you've ever used npm or pip, Yarn does something similar but with some different features and design choices. The website itself is a static site, meaning it's built from source files that get converted into plain HTML pages. It uses Jekyll, a tool that takes simple text files and templates and turns them into a finished website. To get the site running locally on your computer, you clone the repository, install the required dependencies (using Bundler and Jekyll), and then run a command to preview it. On Windows machines, the instructions are slightly different because the standard build command doesn't work, so developers have to run the Jekyll commands manually instead. The main audience for this repository would be Yarn maintainers and contributors who want to update the website, adding documentation, fixing typos, or refreshing the design. Anyone who works on the Yarn project itself might need to make changes here to keep the public-facing documentation and marketing content in sync with the actual tool. The README is fairly minimal and doesn't go into detail about the site's structure or deployment process, though it does give a shout-out to Netlify for hosting the finished website. For someone looking to contribute or understand how the site works beyond just running it locally, you'd probably need to explore the repository's folder structure or look for additional documentation elsewhere.
