This is the 2020-2021 Tartanhacks website (under development). We're using Jekyll on GitHub Pages.
For information about setting up the project locally, check out this document!
This is a typical Jekyll project. The Jekyll documentation online is really well put together; you should give it a skim. In the mean time, here's a list of points where you might want to look:
Since this is a Jekyll site, the repetitive content is pulled out into
templates. These files are located in _includes/ and _layouts/. Altering
these files will alter all files based off of them. You can tell if a file is
based off another file if it includes the line layout: <something> or {% include <something> %} somewhere inside it.
To change the stylesheets, you should look in assets/css/. Here' you'll see
that we're using Sass, which is a CSS preprocessor. This just means we're using
a language that compiles to CSS, instead of writing CSS directly. Look it up
online for more information. The main.scss file @imports the files which are
located in the folder _sass/. To change the styles, you'll want to change
the files located in there.
Any file or folder that doesn't start with an underscore will end up being a web page visible to users. To add content, simply create a file that doesn't have a leading underscore.
Jekyll allows you to write content using Markdown, a language that compiles to
HTML. You should probably use Markdown, not HTML, to create content. For an
example of how this is done, see the frontend/ folder, which contains numerous
examples of using Markdown files to generate content. Feel free to use these
files as starting points for generating your own content.
