Basic steps for hosting on Github

Hey there, apparently people are still using this Gist from 2013! It's out of date! Consult the Github docs.

Steps for Hosting a Website on GitHub

  1. Create a GitHub account on github.com.
  2. Download either [GitHub for Mac][1] or [GitHub for Windows][2], depending on your operating system. Open the app and log in using the account you just created.
  3. (On Mac): After you login, click advanced and make sure that your name and email are correct. Then, click "Install Command Line Tools", just in case you want to start using the command line later in life.
  4. Create a new repository in your GitHub application. Name it your-username.github.io. The name is very important. Note the folder that GitHub is saving the repository to. Make sure the "Push to GitHub?" box is checked.
  5. Move your website's files into the folder that GitHub just created when you made the repository. IMPORTANT: Your homepage HTML file must be called "index.html", and it must exist in the top-level

This code will refresh all users on your webpage upon deployment of a timestamp.json file to S3. We used this to deploy hotfixes on election night for elections.npr.org. It requires Fabric (a Python library for running tasks on the command line) and jquery-cookie.js, but could easily be refactored to not.

Our elections app relied on a 16x9 slide layout across all devices, regardless of the size of the actual screen. We wrote some tricky CSS and JavaScript to achieve this.

The April 7th Class Lecture

April 7th Lesson

Now that we've all had a good face-to-face, we're going to accomplish two things today.

First, we're going to add a new route to your app.py that will let you see a single incident / detainee by clicking on a link from your home page.

Second, we're going to walk through how CSS works and discuss how you might use Materialize to clean up your site's design.

Update your app.py

Current state of your app.py
