Website Changes

As an open community, anyone can submit a pull request to make additions or corrections to the Sigmanaut website github repository.

Modifying the site

To add information, functionality or to reuse this website for your purposes:

1. Install Hugo on your operating system.

2. If not already installed, install git.

3. If you do not already have a github account, sign-up for one.

4. Fork this repository.

5. Make the changes you want to add. This will typically involve one or more of the following:

   • Changing menus on the main page, by changing config.toml
   • Changing the logo, change both config.toml and add logo to /public/img/new_logo.png (square dimensions)
   • Adding a page under /content/new_file.md

6. Preview changes after making them on your computer:

   • $ hugo -D server
   • View in web browser, typically at: http://localhost:1313

7. Once you have checked the changes, you can create a pull request using git. From the command line it might look like the following sequence of commands:

   • $ git fetch (updates your repo)
   • $ git pull (gets new files)
   • $ git status (shows your changes)
   • $ git add filename(s)
   • $ git commit -m “Explain what you have done.”
   • $ git push (sends changes to your forked repo)

8. Once the changes are in your repository, you can then, either:

   1. Create a pull request to have your changes added to the original repository, or
   2. Use this template to create a new community website of your own
