Hacksburg maintains a Github organization [https://github.com/Hacksburg here].
== Github ==
Board members should get push access to the Hacksburg repositories. For this, they will need to make a Github account (if they don't have one already). Members pushing to repos should use Git or some UI equivalent (eg, TortoiseGit for Windows).
A full Git tutorial is beyond the scope of this document, but in general, here's how you do things with regular command-line Git (TortoiseGit and other GUI-based Git clients will be different!).
To work on a repository, you must first clone it by running
<file>
git clone [url]
</file>
where [url] is the URL of the repository. This will create a subdirectory with the contents of the repository in it.
=== Github Pages ===
The Hacksburg website lives at [http://hacksburg.org hacksburg.org]. It's hosted on Github's servers (thereby taking advantage of Github's good uptime). The repository is [https://github.com/hacksburg/hacksburg.github.io here].
==== Posting to the Site ====
The site is built using Jekyll, so to write a new post you will need to be added to the [https://github.com/hacksburg Hacksburg GitHub group]. Once you have access to that, clone the repository locally. Then, copy the format of one of the existing articles in the _posts/ directory, including the filename convention. Next, update the date and time of the filename to the current date and time, and change the title to something more meaningful (Ex: ''2015-06-02-1556-post_title.markdown'').
Change the data in the "frontmatter" (the section between the lines containing only dashes) to match your new post, and then write the remaining article in [https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/ Markdown syntax]. When you've done that, 'git add' the file you made, 'git commit' with a message about the article you wrote, and 'git push origin master' to get github to rebuild the page.
If you want to include images, put them in the images/ directory and reference them in the article as "/images/[filename]".
==== Blog style ====
The style of the blog uses Bootstrap to make it adaptive ('responsive'), and is based heavily on the example blog template provided on Bootstrap's home page. A number of changes have been made to this template. If you'd like to redesign or modify the design, it is probably a good idea to get acquainted with the Bootstrap documentation beforehand, as well as HTML and CSS, so you can make the changes in a sensible way.
