Contributions Welcome!

If you find a typo or you feel like you can improve the HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, we welcome contributions. Feel free to open issues or pull requests like any normal GitHub project, and we'll merge it in 🚀

Running the Site Locally

The website can be run locally through Golang (Hugo) or Docker. If you choose to run through Docker, everything will be a little bit slower due to the additional overhead, so for frequent contributors it may be worth it to use Golang.

With Docker

Running the site locally is simple. Provided you have Docker installed, clone this repo, run make docker, and then visit http://localhost:3000.

The docker image is pre-built with all the website dependencies installed, which is what makes it so quick and simple, but also means if you need to change dependencies and test the changes within Docker, you'll need a new image. If this is something you need to do, you can run make build-image to generate a local Docker image with updated dependencies, then make website-local to use that image and preview.

With Golang

If your local development environment has a supported version (v1.21.0+) of Golang installed, next you'll need to install extended hugo version as it has necessary SCSS/SASS support. Find all the hugo packages here: https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases/tag/v0.120.4

Now to setup and run the site locally run:

make setup followed by make site

...and then visit http://localhost:1313.

If you pull down new code from GitHub, you will occassionally need run make setup again. Otherwise, there's no need to re-run make setup each time the site is run, you can just run make site to get it going and have it automatically reload as you make and save site edits.

Editing Markdown Content

Documentation content is written in Markdown and you'll find all files listed under the /content directory.

To create a new page with Markdown, create a file ending in .md in a site/<subdirectory>. The path in the content directory will be the URL route. For example, site/docs/hello.md will be served from the /docs/hello URL.

---
title: 'My Title'
description: "A thorough, yet succinct description of the page's contents"
---

The significant keys in the YAML frontmatter are:

title (string) - This is the title of the page that will be set in the HTML title. description (string) - This is a description of the page that will be set in the HTML description. permalink (string - relative file path) - canoncial location of the page category (string) - section to which the page belongs. redirect_from (string - relative file path) - in case the page was previously available elsewhere

 

Uploading Images to the site

To display images in a pop-up modal, use the following syntax: ![alt text](/path/to/image.svg).

Note-> For images to show correctly on subpages, always provide the complete image path

Adding Alert to the site

Use the following Syntax to add a Alert: {{< alert type="success" title="Note" >}} Your Note {{< /alert >}}

  • type="danger": Alert used to indicate something related to security.
  • type="info": Alert used to write some information.
  • type="warning": Alert used to indicate a warning that might need attention.
  • type="note": Alert used to indicate a neutral information.
  • type="success": Alert used to indicate a positive information.

By default, if you don't specify a title title="Your Title", the title will be the same as the type name.

Note-> Using the wrong type will lead to the use of the default alert i.e. success
