This repository contains the sources for the WWT Web Examples website, served statically via Github Pages.
The somewhat unusual repository configuration and custom domain are necessary for us to serve active web content over plain HTTP, which is in turn required because the WWT web services are not yet HTTPS-enabled. We are working on it!
As you might guess, contributions to this website, and to the AAS WorldWide Telescope in general, are welcome! See the contributors’ guide for more information. We use a standard fork-and-pull workflow and GitHub Issues.
Our GitHub Pages sites, such as this one, use the just-the-docs Jekyll theme. The just-the-docs documentation describes its features.
This site is based on a standard Jekyll static site system. In short, first run
bundle install
to make sure that the needed tools are installed, then run
bundle exec jekyll serve
to serve the site locally. For more information, see the GitHub documentation on Jekyll static sites.
