Website development

Managing the content

Please note that most website content is formatted in plain Markdown format and you don't need to know much about HTML. There are a few things for which we use some HTML, such as for the formatting of cards, or the images.

• Edit content: Modify the Markdown files (index.md, coordination.md, working-groups.md, etc.)
• Styling: Edit assets/css/style.css
• Navigation: Update _data/navigation.yaml
• People data: Edit _data/people.yaml

Running it locally

You can build and open the website on your own computer, prior to committing any changes to this repository on GitHub. This allows you to try things out and to check the formatting.

Build and try the website

# Install dependencies
bundle config set --local path 'vendor/bundle'
bundle install

# Serve locally
bundle exec jekyll serve --incremental --livereload

Visit http://localhost:4000 to view the site.

Isolated dependencies

You need ruby and jekyll to build the website. If you want to install all dependencies in an isolated environment, you can use Pixi.

To install dependencies from both pixi.toml and Gemfile, execute pixi run install.

To build and serve the website at http://localhost:4000, execute pixi run serve.

Deployment

The site auto-deploys via GitHub Pages when pushing to the main branch of this repository on GitHub.
