Open Savannah is a platform for civic innovation. As an open source organization, you can fork our code including our website. Help us make the site better by forking it, adding new content or features, and submitting a pull request!
Note: This site is hosted with GitHub pages and, as such, any changes you make to the repository will immediately be reflected on opensavannah.org.
Most minor content updates can be made simply by making changes on your forked copy of this repository, then submitting a pull request. For example, following every event, the file _layouts/home/cta.html should always be updated to reflect the date of the next event.
The CTA block just below the hero image can be quickly updated fairly easily:
- Fork this repository to your own account if you haven't already.
- Navigate to the file
_includes/home/cta.html - Edit the file on your forked copy of the repository to reflect the updated text that needs to appear in the Call-to-Action.
- Commit your changes.
- Come back to this repository, select
Pull Requestsand issue aPull Requestto merge your changes into the main repository. - The changes then should automatically appear on the site in a few minutes!
Note: If you have admin privileges to this GH org, you may committ your updates directly to the repository without forking your own copy, but do so with vigilance.
