This lesson is a template lesson that uses The Carpentries Workbench.
Although the config.yaml
states the life cycle stage as pre-alpha, the template is stable and ready to use. The life cycle stage is preset to "pre-alpha"
as this setting is appropriate for new lessons initialised using the template.
To use this template to start a new lesson repository,
make sure you're logged into Github.
Visit https://github.com/carpentries/workbench-template-md/generate
and follow the instructions.
Checking the 'Include all branches' option will save some time waiting for the first website build
when your new repository is initialised.
