As we build our Website there is an increasing need to share information quickly and easily. Teachers are looking for student leaders to establish policies within their teams to share information and progress. Now there are tools and processes built around GitHub pages and Jekyll to make this "potentially" much easier.
Use this to essentially "deploy" a WebSite centered around the static content we keep in GitHub.
Use Jekyll programming language, looks very similar to Jinja2, to do many quick and unique things using combination of our current learnings on Markup and HTML.
This has all kinds of examples that should look familiar, including HTML layouts.
Who? Teachers suggest Web Designer and either GitHub Admin, Deployment Admin. Scrum Master is the customer and should define requirements and needs.
- Start with Settings tab in you project to get Pages going.
- Setup DNS to enable subdomain under your primary website domain.
- Look at this projects index.md, _config.yml, and _layout directory for starters.
- Start looking at Incubator document for detail guideance.
