Setup

Become a contributor

If you do not have a github account yet, create one.

Send Thomas a mail with your account name to be added to the contributors.

Get the code

Clone the repository (https://github.com/LeidenCBC/leidencbc.github.io.git) to your local drive. In case you are not familiar with git an easy way is using the Github Desktop.

Once you have cloned the repository, create your own temporary feature/update branch. This is where you make your edits. Once you have made your edits you can push them to that branch. You must create a pull request to the master branch for publishing the changes to the website (see below) that needs to be reviewed by at least one other team member.

Install Jekyll

If you have Ruby on your machine, just install Jekyll:

$ gem install jekyll
