GitPitch Presentation Template

This branch contains Sky, a GitPitch presentation template.

In fact within this branch you will find three variations of the Sky template, each optimized for specific use-cases:

1. Sky Base Template
2. Sky CodeMax Template
3. Sky Speaker Template

The content in this branch is a great example of how you can deliver multiple-presentations (with optional asset sharing) within a single Git repo branch. See the GitPitch Wiki for further details.

Each template variation is discussed in the sections following Quick Start.

Quick Start

The fastest way to get started with this template is to copy the entire contents of this branch into your own local repository. Then git-add, commit, and push the template files to a public or private repo on GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket.

Warning, this branch has it's own README.md and numerous other files under the assets, codemax, speaker, and src directories. These may be files or directories that you are already using in your own repo. If you are going to copy the entire contents of this branch into your repo, please check to ensure that you do not accidentally overwrite existing files.

Sky Base Template

The Base template is an excellent starting point for any presentation author. The template markdown found in PITCHME.md, and the template settings found in PITCHME.yaml, provide great examples of numerous GitPitch features.

To use only the Base template you will need to copy the following files and directories into your own Git repository:

.
├── PITCHME.md
├── PITCHME.yaml
├── assets
└── src

Once you have those files under source control inside your Git repo you are ready to start customizing the markdown content, settings, imagery, styles, etc.

Sky CodeMax Template

The CodeMax template makes a small number of changes to the custom CSS of the Base template in order to maximize the space used when rendering code on any slide. The updated custom CSS is found in the assets/css/PITCHME.codemax.css file.

To use only the CodeMax template you will need to copy the following files and directories into your own Git repository:

.
├── assets
├── codemax
│   ├── PITCHME.md
│   └── PITCHME.yaml
└── src

Once you have those files under source control inside your Git repo you are ready to start customizing the markdown content, settings, imagery, styles, etc.

Note, if you want the CodeMax template to become the default presentation for your repo, move codemax/PITCHME.md and codemax/PITCHME.yaml to the root directory of your repo.

Sky Speaker Template

The Speaker template is identical to the Base template with one addition, sample speaker notes have been added to the template markdown found in speaker/PITCHME.md. Open the raw view of this markdown file to see how simple it is to add speaker notes to any slide.

To use only the Speaker template you will need to copy the following files and directories into your own Git repository:

.
├── PITCHME.yaml
├── assets
├── speaker
│   └── PITCHME.md
└── src

Once you have those files under source control inside your Git repo you are ready to start customizing the markdown content, settings, imagery, styles, etc.

Note, if you want the Speaker template to become the default presentation for your repo, move speaker/PITCHME.md to the root directory of your repo.
