The actual javascript used by the theme is the compiled one found in assets/built/main.min.js
Even if you change the source file assets/js/main.js it won’t automatically update the compiled file. To do that, you need to run a build command.
To run the build command:
- from the terminal, navigate to the theme folder
- run the command
npm install - run the command
npx gulp build
Reload your browser and check the changes. You don’t need to restart Ghost.
Note: You only need to run npm install the first time, on subsequent changes you only need to run npx gulp build
