To preview the site, we'll run this command in the terminal. We'll say bundle exec jekyll serve. This starts up the Jekyll preview server and tells us that it's available on port 4000. Now we can switch into a web browser and type localhost:4000 to see the page. What you should see is the basic layout and structure of the site. Jekyll built all the site files and is hosting them for you in memory. This isn't accessible to anyone else on the internet. This is just on your local machine. If you make changes to the site files while this preview server is running, you can refresh the browser to see the changes immediately.
