githubiverse-template

Note: There is a major limitation to this template due to Github's API rate limit, see issue #5 for details.

Also, I consider the thing-tracker-site-template to be a successor to this project. Have a look at this blog post for more details.

This is a Github Page template to show off your 3D printer model or project. Inspiration clearly taken from the excellent Thingiverse.

Instructions

Create a github project.
Add and commit content (sources, stl files, images), into separate folders.
Create an empty gh-pages branch. See http://pages.github.com for further information.
Copy (not clone!) the contents of this githubiverse-template project into the root directory of the gh-pages branch.
Edit _config.yml: Define metadata about the project and edit the preferences as required.
Edit index.md: Add a description, in markdown format, in the bottom section, or alternatively, use the description_file option in _config.yml to use file contents from the project root.
Optionally, modify the html and css to suit your tastes.
Test locally with jekyll, or commit and push to github.
When pushed, view at http://yourusername.github.com/yourprojectname, an example project can be seen here: http://garyhodgson.github.com/githubiverse-tst
