Submissions Guidelines

HackerUnderDev is a blog built on Hugo, hosted on Netlify, and stored on Github.

Guest authors are invited to create additional content for the site. The process will be centered around Github's code management processes

Setup

1. Clone the HackerUnderDev repo to your local development machine.
   • Originally created on a windows machine but only pre-requirements is git and Hugo, so mac and linux should work as well.
2. Follow the main README.md file to set up a local instance of the Hugo site

Create content

TL;DR follow Github Flow

1. Create a new branch to track your contributions
2. Write your content
   1. Add a "post" markdown file in the /content/post/ directory, (please follow the naming style)
   2. Optional: Add static content like images to a new directory specific to the post in /static/images
   3. Do not modify existing posts, static pages, or themes unless previously approved by original author or repo owner
3. Review the content locally by running hugo serve
4. Create a pull request to merge the new branch to the master branch
   1. Respond to any comments and address feedback
   2. Get approval from repo owner
   3. Merge the pull request
5. Once merged to master, Netlify will automatically redeploy after detecting the changes and the live site will reflect the new content
