Working repository for the E-Cell website

Built with Jekyll and Bootstrap 4

Testing locally

Note: we used github pages during site construction, that is being discontinued henceforth (since deployment to permanent server) due to issues with baseurl and _config.yml

1. Install jekyll and associated dependencies, like bundler, Ruby, etc.
2. Fork and clone the repository. For solely local testing, just cloning will do.
3. cd into the repo folder and run bundle exec jekyll serve. See jekyll docs for more details.
4. Navigate to localhost:4000/ (by default)

Deployment Method (only for admins)

As of now, we're employing a very rudimentary deployment system, essentially scp-ing the built site into the server.

The basic steps are highlighted hence:

1. Build the site
2. scp all contents of site into the site/ directory of the server home

Suggestions welcome

Git Workflow

https://musescore.org/en/handbook/developers-handbook/finding-your-way-around/git-workflow

Summary

1. Fork on GitHub (click Fork button) (if you don't have master access)
2. Clone to computer, preferably use SSH URL (git clone git@github.com:you/MuseScore.git)
3. Don't forget to cd into your repo: (cd MuseScore/)
4. Set up remote upstream (git remote add upstream git://github.com/musescore/MuseScore.git) (for forks)
5. Create a branch for new issue (git checkout -b 404-new-feature)
6. Develop on issue branch. [Time passes, the main MuseScore repository accumulates new commits]
7. Commit changes to your local issue branch. (git add . ; git commit -m 'commit message')
8. Fetch upstream (git fetch upstream) (for those with master access, fetch origin)
9. Update local master (git checkout master; git merge upstream/master)
10. Rebase issue branch (git checkout 404-new-feature; git rebase master)
11. Repeat steps 6-11 until dev is complete
12. Push branch to GitHub (git push origin 404-new-feature)
13. Start your browser, go to your GitHub repo, switch to "404-new-feature" branch and press the [Pull Request] button

After having made a Pull Request don't pull/merge anymore, it'll mess up the commit history. If you (have to) rebase, use 'push --force' (git push --force) to send it up to your GitHub repository, this will update the PR too. Be careful not to do this while the core team is working on merging in your PR.

Keeping gh-pages up to date with master

This should work

// Reference: http://lea.verou.me/2011/10/easily-keep-gh-pages-in-sync-with-master/

$ git add .
$ git status // to see what changes are going to be commited
$ git commit -m 'Some descriptive commit message'
$ git push origin master

$ git checkout gh-pages // go to the gh-pages branch
$ git rebase master // bring gh-pages up to date with master
$ git push origin gh-pages // commit the changes
$ git checkout master // return to the master branch

Main changes are incorporated from branches into master, then into gh-pages. Ideally.
