gpages

Script for the Lab: Preamble

1. Set up a github account
2. Create a Public repository called testgpages with a README.md and a Jekyll .gitignore.
3. Download the github app and clone this repository down.
4. Also fork-clone/clone the repository https://github.com/rahuldave/gpages .
5. Open both repositories side by side in the Finder (File Manager)
6. Make an edit to the README.md in testgpages and commit and push to understand the git flow.

Web Pages, Version 1

1. Open a terminal from the github app for testgpages.
2. Copy the notebooks folder from gpages into testgpages
3. Using that terminal, convert the notebooks to html:
   1. jupyter nbconvert --output-dir . --to html notebooks/olives-eda.ipynb
   2. jupyter nbconvert --output-dir . --to html notebooks/olives-model.ipynb
4. Copy oldondex.html from gpages to index.html in testgpages
5. Commit and push
6. Go to the hithub user interface for settings and enable a website on the master branch of testgpages.
7. Go to https://username.github.io/testgpages/index.html to see your website

Web Site Version 2

1. Delete the html files in the main testgpages folder. We will generate markdown instead
2. From gpages copy the _layouts folder, index.md, and _config.yml.
3. Using the testgpages terminal, convert the notebooks into markdown using our custom template.
   1. jupyter nbconvert --output-dir . --to markdown --template ../gpages/_support/markdown.tpl notebooks/olives-eda.ipynb
   2. jupyter nbconvert --output-dir . --to markdown --template ../gpages/_support/markdown.tpl notebooks/olives-model.ipynb
4. Add YAML preambles and some TOC frontmatter to our markdown files
   1. python ../gpages/_support/nbmd.py olives-eda.md
   2. python ../gpages/_support/nbmd.py olives-model.md
5. Edit the markdown files to add a YAML tag nav_include: 1 and nav_include: 2 respectively to the above markdown files.The 1 and 2 reflect the position on the navigation menu in the default.html template in _layouts.
6. Commit and push everything
7. Go to the website in a bit to check the improvements

Things for you to do

1. Hide some cells: see our nbconvert template to see how to do this.
2. Use another theme from the github defaults
3. ADVANCED: use your own jekyll theme.
