The default and main branch on this repo is source. This is because Github Pages insists that the master branch is to be deployed and served if the repository is an organization pages one.
This repository hosts the source files for the developer documentation.
The first thing to note is that the files are written in reStructuredText.
This is not fully visible in Github's WYSIWYG view, you will need to view the Raw version of the .rst files to see
everything, or else edit the files directly. You may find this online reStructuredText editor and this syntax primer useful.
The best way to make edits is to fork this repository, clone the fork, make changes locally, test them using the method
below, then when you are happy, submit a pull request. Once the PR is approved and merged, the changes will automatically
be deployed to developer.zooniverse.org.
To add a new .rst file, simply create it in the appropriate directory, then add it to the table of contents which
is index.rst in the base directory.
While editing, you'll probably want to view the resulting HTML before committing. Right now, to do this you will need both Python and Ruby installed, and then install the following dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
gem install rerunThen you can automatically run the HTML generation using:
rerun -x -p "**/*.{py,rst,png}" -- make htmlOpen the _build/html/index.html page in a browser.
