Course Website for 11-775, Fall 2024

Note for Development

Use the following command to serve the website locally:

docker run -it --rm --network=host -v $(pwd):/site kashu98/jekyll-serve

For Future Instructors

Create a new branch for each semester as website<year><semester> (e.g., website2024fa, website2025sp, etc.)., and update the content accordingly.

Where to Update

• Announcements: _announcements/*.md
• Assignments: _assignments/*.md
• Lectures: _lectures/*.md
• Events: _events/*.md
• People: _data/people.yml

Archive Previous Semester's Website

Create a directory archive to store the previous semester's website. Inside the archive directory, put the generated _site directory from the previous semester's website as <year><semester>.

• Note that when generating the _site directory for each year, make sure to remove archive directory to avoid recursive copying.
• Relative path in the archive might be broken, so make sure to update the path accordingly.
• Should we automate this process with GitHub Actions?
  • create a deploy branch
  • mkdir archive
  • for each branch in the repo
    • jekyll build
    • replace all the relative path in _site
    • move _site to archive/
  • build the current website
