question: does the repo build automagically? #40

Closed lwasser closed 7 years ago

Hey @mbjoseph i just noticed that there are new author and lib files in our repo!! this is very cool. My question -- does the build happen automagically or is this a make workflow locally?

Perhaps you can show me later today. If I add some text to one of the author pages, will it be overwritten? Or does the file look to see if it's there and ONLY build it if it's missing.

Thank you!

"Hey @lwasser": it happens when we run make, which executes this script: https://github.com/earthlab/dev-earthlab-site/blob/master/processing-code/validate_authors.R

Which is to say - yes if you manually edit these, they will get overwritten. Are you trying to add bios? If so, we could stick those in another file (e.g., even plain text) and read those in when the files are generated.

@mbjoseph yes please. When we meet today i'll gladly build a csv with Name, Slug and bio. talk later. we could use the 2pm slot now too if you want. i'm easy in terms of schedule today!

to discuss

[ ] Adding bios to author pages - (needs to support markdown)
[ ] keeping material current
[ ] Multiple repo deployment?
