Pushing Changes

We are using github-pages to automatically compile and host our website. This means that to update the website, you simply need to push changes to your own branch and make a pull request on Github.

...
<work on the website>
...
$ git add <whatever changes you made>

<go make your pull request!>

Updating Contacts

Contacts are managed by a CSV file located here. To edit the contacts, simply edit this file

$ open _data/contacts.csv

Updating Brothers

To update the brothers page we use a python script to pull the brother information and images from a google form CSV (https://forms.gle/PsYvMq74Y2J73mUo6).

$ python scripts/update_data.py
