The AISTATS 2018 webpage.
This repository contains the archive of the AISTATS 2018 conference page. Once each year has past it can be archived to aistats20XX and modified to form the next year's page.
Each year the main web page needs to be archived to store as a previous year's conference. To do this, the first thing you need to do is duplicate this repository.
-
Create the new repo in github by going to https://github.com/organizations/aistats/repositories/new, use the name coding
aistatsXXXX
whereXXXX
is the year of the archived conference. -
Give the conference a description, "Web page for the XXXX AISTATS Conference"
-
Do not create an initial README for the conference.
-
Create the Repo.
-
Go to a suitable directory on your machine and type:
git clone --bare https://github.com/aistats/aistats.github.io.git
mv aistats.github.io.git aistatsXXXX
cd aistatsXXXX
git branch -m gh-pages
git push --mirror https://github.com/aistats/aistatsXXXX.git
-
Edit the
_config.yml
file in the new repo to setbaseurl
toaistatsXXXX
-
Check that the archived page appears online at http://aistats.org/aistatsXXXX/
-
Update the original main repository at https://github.com/aistats/aistats.github.io for the current conference. This page will be used to host the current AISTATS.
-
Add the team
aistatsXXXX
to the admin rights for the repoaistatsXXXX
-
Create a new admin team for this year's page,
aistatsYYYY
, whereYYYY=XXXX+1
and assign it to adminaistats.github.io
-
See a list of repositories of past web sites here.
-
This link gives Github help about project pages (at the bottom), if we put the Jekyll files in gh-pages branch, the repository will be served under http://aistats.github.io/aistats20xx. Note that the main repository uses master branch, not gh-pages.
-
When archiving to aistats20xx, it is necessary to modify the
baseurl
entry of_config.yml
frombaseurl: ""
tobaseurl: "/aistats20xx"
so that internal links in the web site are generated correctly. -
baseurl: ""
is used only in the current AISTATS site because its files are at the root of aistats.github.io. -
Repository set up by Neil Lawrence and conversion of the old javascript pages by Wittawat. Pages then archived for the 2016 and 2017 editions of the conference.
