HackTJ 12.0

The website for HackTJ 12.0.

Setup

• git clone git@github.com:HackTJ/2025.git hacktj-website
• pnpm install

Development

We use SvelteKit.

Creating a New Event Website (2025)

mv hacktj-website hacktj-website-2025
git clone git@github.com:HackTJ/2025.git hacktj-website
cd hacktj-website
pnpm install
git reset "$(git commit-tree HEAD^"{tree}" -m "Push HackTJ 12.0 website")"  # squash all commits into 1
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:HackTJ/2025.git
git push

Deployment

• pnpm update --latest --interactive
• pnpm run format
• pnpm run lint
• pnpm run check
• pnpm run switch event: switch to the event repository (configures the project so that builds are for /2025)
• pnpm run switch homepage: switch to the homepage repository (configures the project so that builds are for /)
• pnpm run dev: starts a development server on port 3000 and watches files for changes, compiling them on the fly
• pnpm run build: compiles all files to the build/ directory but doesn't watch for changes or start a server
• pnpm run preview: starts a static server using the files in build/
• pnpm run deploy event: pushes to the gh-pages branch of this repository and deploys the site to https://hacktj.org/2025
• pnpm run deploy homepage: pushes to the hacktj.github.io repo and deploys the site to https://hacktj.org
• pnpm run deploy all: shortcut for both pnpm run deploy event and pnpm run deploy homepage

In the case that one of the endpoints (/2025 or /) doesn't work but the other does, immediately set up a hardcoded redirect in the nonfunctional repository to redirect to the correct site.

To test a production build locally:

1. pnpm run switch homepage
2. pnpm run build
3. pnpm run preview

To deploy a change:

1. pnpm run dev
2. make your changes; when you're done, close the development server
3. pnpm run format; pnpm run lint
4. git add . && git commit
5. pnpm run deploy all
6. git push

Notes for next year

• create a new repository under the HackTJ organization for each event
• the deploy event script doesn't commit the source code to the repository's main branch, it only commits the built website
  • you should commit the source code to the main branch each time you deploy
  • before you commit to main, always make sure you run pnpm run switch event
    • if you need to, create a pre-commit hook to automatically do this
• don't run git pull after pnpm run switch homepage
  • only pull when you're set up for the event repository
