A simple, static portal which outlines our open source offerings. Intentionally themed to look like a merchant page on the directory.
Due to the use of absolute URLs in CSS files that are (essentially) out of our control, the easiest way to develop is by running with Jekyll.
jekyll serve
Repositories are listed in the repos.json file as a map of repository names
to a list of their categories. Invoking the generate.py script will update
the index.html page with the latest repos by using the index.mustache file
as a template. Run pip install pystache requests pygithub3 if needed to
install python dependencies.
Repository data is pulled via the GitHub API (e.g., website). By default the script performs unauthenticated requests, so it's easy to run up against GitHub's limit of 60 unauthenticated requests per hour. To make authenticated requests and work around the rate-limiting, add an entry for api.github.com to your ~/.netrc file, preferably with a Personal Access Token from https://github.com/settings/applications.
Images are loaded by convention from the repo_images/ directory. Ensure the
name is the same as the repo name in the repos.json file and has a .jpg
extension. Currently all images are rotated 10 degrees counter-clockwise to
break up the overwhelming horizontal and vertical visual lines on the page.
