+You’ll find this post in your `_posts` directory. Go ahead and edit it and re-build the site to see your changes. You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run `jekyll serve`, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated.
+
+Jekyll requires blog post files to be named according to the following format:
+
+`YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.MARKUP`
+
+Where `YEAR` is a four-digit number, `MONTH` and `DAY` are both two-digit numbers, and `MARKUP` is the file extension representing the format used in the file. After that, include the necessary front matter. Take a look at the source for this post to get an idea about how it works.
+
+Jekyll also offers powerful support for code snippets:
+
+{% highlight ruby %}
+def print_hi(name)
+  puts "Hi, #{name}"
+end
+print_hi('Tom')
+#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.
+{% endhighlight %}

+
+Chutney has a default configuration which may or may not suit your needs. It's rules are defined in a simple YAML configuration file that you can customise.
+
+## Configuration file
+
+You can name your configuration file `chutney.yml` or `.chutney.yml`. The first style is preferred because it is not hidden by default in most file systems.
+
+The file can be placed in the root of your project, or in a subdirectory called `/config`.
+
+Chutney will create a default configuration file for you, `chutney.yml`, in your current directory if you run:
+
+```bash
+chutney --init
+```
+
+It will look something like this, but don't worry, it looks more complicated than it is:

+With all the best will and good intentions in the world, sometimes you need to break a rule. You might need to do this for a very good reason or because the rule is mis-identifing something that you think is valid.
+
+To do this, use the tag format `@disable<Linter Name>`. For example `@disableTooLongStep`.
+
+If used at the feature level, the linter will be deactivated for the whole file, used at the scenario level, only that one scenario will be excused.

+
+Chutney is written in Ruby and distributed as a Ruby gem. This means you need to have Ruby installed on your system to use Chutney.
+
+## Installing Ruby
+
+To install Ruby, follow the instructions on the [Ruby website](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/installation/).
+
+## Installing Chutney
+
+Once you have Ruby installed, you can install Chutney system-wide by running the following command:
+
+```bash
+gem install chutney
+```
+and update it with:
+
+```bash
+gem update chutney
+```
+or you can install Chutney locally by adding it to your Gemfile (you should do this if you have a Ruby-Cucumber test pack):
+
+```ruby
+gem 'chutney', "~> <latest version number>"
+```
+(you can grab the latest version number from the [RubyGems page](https://rubygems.org/gems/chutney).)

+Since v3.8.0

+Chutney now includes a Language Server (LSP), which can be used with your favourite editor to provide real-time feedback on your feature files.
+
+The command to start the Language Server is:
+
+```bash
+chutney-lsp
+```
+
+The language server will consume from the standard input and emit to standard output. This means that you can use it with any editor that supports the LSP protocol.
+
+It will listen for open / close and save events to evaluate the current feature file and provide feedback.
