UW MODE LAB Website

This is a guide to our GitHub Pages website found at [[https://uw-mode.github.io]].

About the Website

The UW-Mode website is hosted on GitHubPages and is built using Jekyll. The website code can be found at its GitHub repository [[https://github.com/UW-MODE/uw-mode.github.io/]]. Use Git to fork the repository.

The repository consists of two branches: master and source.

The source repo maintains the files, images, and code that Jekyll uses to build the website.
The master repo maintains the actual <html> files that are built by Jekyll (the files in _site/).

To use an analogy with LaTeX, the source branch is the .tex file and the master branch is the .pdf file.

Adding Content to the Website

To add content to the website, you should make changes to the source branch and then make a "pull request". This can be done in browser using GitHub or by "forking" the website repository and editing locally on your own machine with Git.

Most changes will involve updating files in the /_data/ or /img/ folder.

After submitting a "pull request", the website will not update until the webmaster (or someone with Jekyll) verifies there are no errors, builds the website using Jekyll, and pushes the new site to the master branch.

How to add yourself to the People page

First add your info to _data/people.yml under the appropriate group. Add your info as fields (the document has examples). Required fields are

  • first_name and last_name - your name
  • pic - filename of a photo of yourself in the /img/team/ folder
  • bio - a few line bio (currently not used)
  • social - a list of web link with urls (see examples)

Second place your photo in the /img/team/ folder. This photo will be adjusted to a 1:1 square aspect ratio, so crop accordingly. Note: the image must have the filename specified in the pic field.

How to add a Publication

Add the bibtex of your publication to _bibliography/pubs.bib (make sure you are on the source branch).

Then either:

  • Add a hyperlink to a pdf copy of the publication using the link field in the bibtex.
  • If you want to add link to your code, Add a hyperlink to a your code using the code field in the bibtex.

How to add a Project

Previewing Change (optional, for advanced users)

To preview your changes to the website, you must clone a local repo of the source branch and use Jekyll to build and view the website.
