Here we explain how to make change in the documentation and make it available online.
Our web site repository contains two branches.
Master
branch contains markdown content of the site, gh-pages
branch contains static html of the site.
Hugo static site generator is used to produce html content from markdown pages.
GitHub is configured to host content of gh-pages
branch at this address.
Users are modifying site content by providing pull requests to master
branch. Travis
continuous integration automatically generates
fresh html of the site and updates gh-pages
branch.
To modify documentation follow these steps:
$HOME/bin
directory, for example.Make a fork of our site repository and clone your fork locally.
Please note, that repository contains sub-module (external Hugo theme), so clone command should be
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/<your-name>/MIEZEPY_website.git
Go to cloned repository and run Hugo
.
$ cd <source>
$ hugo server -D
Open web-browser using address Hugo will tell you (most probably http://localhost:1313/MIEZEPY_website).
Modify one of documentation related markdown file. For example, to modify the page you are looking at right now, edit
<source>/content/documentation/developers-corner/contribute-to-documentation.md
Hugo
will update web site within a fraction of a second.
When you are happy with the changes you’ve made, push changes to the origin
and provide a pull request.
Travis
will start the build to make sure that site is still in working state (no broken links found, etc).
Depending on Travis
mood and load, the build can be completed in less than a minute.
Members of scgmlz have rights to merge their own pull requests. External users will have to wait a bit for a person with admin rights to approve.
After pull request merge, check site online. It might take a few minutes before changes will be propagated to hosting service.
Because of browser cashing you might need to reload the page from scratch (e.g. push reload
button while holding shift
key).
