How to contribute (for non-git gurus)

First, you will need to be able to edit this repository. Ask for permissions at the repository admins (currently Geert van Geest).

If you are authoring one of the chapters, the easy way to contribute would be to edit in the browser. Do this by:

• navigating to your chapter at docs/chapters/ at the top of this page
• clicking on your chapter's md file (e.g. chapter_10.md)
• clicking on the edit buttion:

Now you can edit the markdown. Here is a tutorial on markdown basics. For more advanced functionality, visit the mkdocs material webpage. For example for information on how to display admonitions.

If you have finished, you can directly commit to main. In order to do that, write a commit message, and click the green button with Commit changes:

After commiting it will take ~30-60 seconds before the website is updated with your changes. The website is hosted at https://elixir-europe-training.github.io/ELIXIR-TrP-FAIR-training-handbook/.

Adding tables

If you want to build large tables, have a look at markdown tables generator.

Adding references

This website supports bibtex (pandoc style). In order to add a reference, add it in bibtex format to references.bib, cite it in your markdown document with [@refid] (for the ten simple rules paper this would be [@Garcia2020]), and at the bottom of the page add the line \bibliography. You can find an example in docs/index.md.
