UAVs@Berkeley's Website

The original UAVs@Berkeley website was a WordPress site which was hard to maintain and looked bad. This site employs Jekyll, a ruby-based static site generator. Most files are written in markdown with HTML interspersed, Jekyll adds syntactical sugar and extra functionality, then compiles the project into vanilla HTML and CSS which is then hosted on the Berkeley OCF servers here.

This site should be updated at least once per semester to update:

1. Leadership team and leadership alumni pages
2. Project posts for each semester written by the project managers
3. Add or remove sponsor logos from the sponsorship page.

Getting Started

Refer to the Jekyll website for more detailed information on how Jekyll works and why it's useful. Also, DevTips has a great tutorial series using Jekyll. To get started working with the site directly, (assuming you have a working version of Ruby already installed) simply install Jekyll:

gem install bundler jekyll

Navigate to where you'd like to do development and clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/UAVs-at-Berkeley/uavs_site.git

cd uavs_site

Start up Jekyll and have it watch for changes

jekyll serve --watch

In your browser, navigate to the local host where Jekyll is serving the site, by default this is http://localhost:4000/ Now you can make changes in the source code, refresh your browser, and watch the changes render.

Workflow

1. For development, create your own branch with a relavant name.
2. Once ready for review, push the branch and create a pull request to merge onto the master branch
3. After the CI passes and approval reviews are in, merge the branch

That's it! The CI will take care of deploying the changes of the master branch.

Pushing Changes to OCF

Use an FTP client (like CyberDuck) to transfer files to the OCF server. Pick the SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) for connecting to the OCF server. The server is ssh.ocf.berkeley.edu. The leadership has access to the username and password.

Jekyll integration by Andrew Banchich:

# How to Use

For those unfamiliar with how Jekyll works, check out [https://jekyllrb.com/](https://jekyllrb.com/) for all the details, 
or read up on just the basics of [front matter](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/frontmatter/), [writing posts](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/posts/), 
and [creating pages](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/pages/).

- GitLab: Simply fork this repository and start editing the `_config.yml` file!  
- GitHub: Fork this reposity and create a branch named `gh-pages`, then start editing the `_config.yml` file! The `.gitlab-ci.yml` file is only needed for GitLab Pages, so feel free to delete this if you are using GitHub instead.

# Added Features

I've integrated lots of nice Jekyll features into the theme, such as:
* [Formspree.io](https://formspree.io/) contact form integration - just add your email to the `_config.yml` and it works!
* Your social profiles are linked from usernames you enter in `_config.yml`. Only social profiles buttons you enter in `config.yml` show up on the site footer.
* Site logo support - Easily set any image or [Font Awesome icon](http://fontawesome.io/icons/) as your logo. If you enter a Font Awesome icon class in `_config.yml` it will override the default image used as the site logo.
* Coming soon: Featured images and thumbnails in front matter for the homepage posts grid.
* Coming soon: Easy featured image settings in `_config.yml` - choose to have Jekyll use a set height for featured images or have it display the entire image, pushing the page content further down.

This is Phantom, a simple design built around a grid of large, colorful, semi-interactive
image tiles (of which you can have as many or as few as you like). Makes use of some
SVG and animation techniques I've been experimenting with on that other project of mine
you may have heard about (https://carrd.co), and includes a handy generic page for whatever.

you can use for pretty much whatever.
