CCNY_Prep¶

This is a Blog meant to keep track of our interview preparation progress.

This GitHub Pages blog relies on: - travis-ci.org for automating the update and generation process - ‘pelican’ for static rendering of your blog from the markdown or asciidoc articles - ‘Elegant’ for the ‘Theme’ - peru for automating repository upgrades for plugins, etc - blog-o-matic

Setup¶

First, clone the repo.

1

git clone https://github.com/dahadaller/dahadaller.github.io.git

Then, checkout the source branch. You will be working exclusively in this branch.

1

git checkout source

Posting to Blog¶

Each member of the group has a designated folder in the content/ directory. Any markdown files placed in this directory will be turned into blog posts.

                        ├── David
                        └── Kieran

Once you’ve written your new article in your content subfolder, perform:

## Add file to repository
git add content/<your_name_here>

## Add file to commit
git commit -m "Added my new article"

## Upload changes to github
git push

After some seconds, - travis-ci build the site with Pelican and commit the resultant html files to the master branch of this repo. After that, GitHub Pages will make the updated blog available at dahadaller.github.io.

Blog Post Format¶

Generally, blog posts can be about any topic you think would be helpful to the group, and can be written in any way you choose. However, blog posts that are in response to the weekly excercises need to have certain headers in the YAML preamble so that Pelican can categorize them correctly on the final site. For example, a post made in response to Week 1 Excercises would have a YAML headers like this:
