Notes on how to add new member content are in the github wiki.
Pushing to this repo automatically updates the website. You can also "run" this by visiting http://almlab.mit.edu/make.php.
Updating the website follows this workflow:
- you edit the webpage on your own computer,
- navigate to the
web_scriptsfolder and runmaketo build a local version of the website - look at it in your browser to make sure it looks good, etc.
- navigate to the
- git commit those changes
- git push your changes to the repo
- and then, automagically*, github.com will visit make.php, which will cause athena to run "git pull" and "make"
- if almlab.mit.edu hasn't updated in a few seconds, then you can visit almlab.mit.edu/make.php and see the error log and troubleshoot from there
- if you visit almlab.mit.edu and don't see your updates, try force-reloading the page (press Shift while clicking the refresh button)
*github.com is set up to ping make.php with Codeship (which you can get to from here),
but a webhook can probably do the same thing and would probably be an easier way to do it...
Could be worth investigating.
The website is on Athena, at /afs/athena.mit.edu/org/a/almlab/.
(To log in to Athena, ssh your_kerberos@athena.dialup.mit.edu)
Members of the almlab-www Moira group have read and write
permissions (learn more about permissions on Athena here).
Communicating back and forth to/from Athena and this repo probably involves changing the git config
user.name to match your GitHub username. You also probably need an ssh key.
