A step-by-step guide to creating a collection of webpages using a framework called Jekyll and hosted using GitHub Pages.

Research Software Camp: Next Steps in Coding

Our spring Research Software Camp: Next steps in coding will focus on improving computational and training skills and exploring existing resources out there. The Camp will be held from 16th to 27th May 2022.

This workshop will be delivered by Renato Alves (lead), Julian Bauer and Lisanna Paladin over three afternoons (13:00 - 16:00BST) from 23-25 May.GitHub Pages provides a cost-free way to build and host web pages and sites, commonly used by the open source communities to provide documentation on software projects, and to create individual, group or organisational blogs and websites. However, for those taking their first steps towards building sites like this, the process can be confusing and intimidating. This tutorial aims to address this, by providing a step-by-step guide to creating a collection of pages and combining them into a coherent site using a framework called Jekyll and hosted using GitHub Pages.Full course details: https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/jekyll-pages-novice/ Pre-requisites: This lesson guides you through making websites using Jekyll in a web hosting service GitHub Pages so you will need a GitHub account and to be comfortable interacting with GitHub to a certain extent (we will take things slowly). Basic understanding of HTML and/or Markdown as webpage authoring languages is welcome but not a must.
