How to contribute

To add a new article, follow the instructions below:

  1. Fork the repo of the website on Github: https://github.com/luiscruz/course_sustainableSE/
  2. Create a new markdown file inside the directory 2023/p1_measuring_software
    • Use the following filename format: g<group_number>_<1/2meaningful_keywords>.md
    • Use the file g8_template.md has a template
    • If you want to add images, add it to 2023/img/p1_measuring_software/g<group_number>_<1/2meaningful_keywords>/
  3. Commit, Push.
  4. Submit a pull request.

Before submitting the pull request, you should test whether your file is rendering properly in the website. The easiest way to check it is by running the docker container, as instructed in the Github Readme.

Your page should be listed here: http://localhost:4000/course_sustainableSE/2023/literature_review

If you don’t want to deal with jekyll, you can do it the slow and expensive way: 1) enable github pages in your fork repo 2) check your the deployed page. (I don’t recommend it, though)

Note: let me know if you run into any issue or if there’s any step you think should be explained here.
