BIS180L Website

Website for UC Davis class BIS180L

Based on the Jekyll theme Hyde

The live website is http://jnmaloof.github.io/BIS180L_web/

Some formatting info

To have a markdown file converted it must have front matter.

Regular page

For a regular page use the following front matter:

---
layout: page
title: YOUR TITLE HERE
---

Place the .md file in the root directory for the site. It will get added to the sidebar links.

Lab markdown page

For a lab markdown page use:

---
layout: lab
title: Instructions on installing and using the BIS180L virtual linux machine
hidden: true    <!-- To prevent post from being displayed as regular blog post -->
tags:
    - Linux
---

Save it in the _posts folder with a name that follows a format of `yyyy-mm-dd-title.md'. This will automatically get added to the list of lab pages

Lab Rmarkdown page

For a lab R markdown page things are a bit more complicated. Use the same front matter as for a regular lab markdown page, but save it in the _rmd folder. Then run jekyll_knit_BIS180L.R (found in _rmd directory), changing the paths as appropriate. This will automatically create the .md file and place it in the posts directory with appropriate links to image files. Non-R files that you want to include should be placed in the images directory. R images generated during knitting will be automatically places in the figure directory and inlcuded. Important: name your code chunks, especially those that generate figures!

Post

For a post to be listed on the front page, use:

---
layout: post
title: Welcome to BIS180L
---

Save it in the '_posts' folder with a name that follows a format of `yyyy-mm-dd-title.md'. This will automatically get added to the front page.

Setting up your computer to use jekyll

See https://github.com/github/pages-gem or https://help.github.com/articles/using-jekyll-with-pages/ . Bundler has been a bit strange for me, so the former approach may be better.

Once you have jekyll installed, type jekyll serve in the root directory and point your browser to http://localhost:4000

Branching Scheme

• gh-pages: the published site
• develop: for making relatively minor changes to the site
• feature-XYZ: for adding labs, etc, that may take a longer time to complete.
