Reproducible Science - Git @ TACC

Quickstart

1. Create a Python 3 environment
2. Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Build using make html (Mac/Linux) or make.bat html (Windows)

If you pip install sphinx-autobuild, you can use make livehtml which will start a server that watches for source changes and will rebuild/refresh automatically. Go to http://localhost:8000/ to see its output.
