+# Getting Started
+
+## How to Deploy on Github Pages
+By default, your website will be deployed to github pages, using the path of:
+
+mgrover1.github.io/hackathon-template-github
+
+In order for this to work, you will need to follow these steps:
+
+### 1. Make sure Github Actions has permission to write to your repository
+
+This setting can be found under Settings -> Actions -> General -> Workflow Permissions
+![](images/github-workflow-permissions.png)
+
+
+If you scroll to the bottom of the General Actions Permission, select "Read and write permissions", which will ensure your action is enabled correctly, publishing your content!

+
+### 2. Enable Github Pages for your repository
+
+Continue to scroll down your page, and select "Pages", which give you an option of where to gather your content from. 
+
+Select "Github Actions", which will pull the website from the action.
+![](images/github-action-deploymen.png)
+
+
+### 3. Rerun the Action now that settings have been properly configured.
+
+Go to the top of your screen, and select Actions, which will have two options on the left. 
+
+![](images/view-action.png)
+
+Select the "MyST Github Pages Deploy", and select the failing action.
+

+
+Click the Re-run jobs tab at the top, and select re-run failed jobs
+

+
+Click the Re-run jobs button, which will initiate the publishing.

+
+### 4. Make sure your pages link is linked on your repository
+
+Go to the main page for your repository (ex. https://github.com/mgrover1/hackathon-template-github)
+
+Notice the gear logo on the right - click on that! (this should be to the right of the About section)
+
+![](images/find-gear-logo.png)
+
+Make sure the "Use your Github Pages website" is selected.
+![](images/use-github-pages-link.png)
+
+
+Follow that link, you are good to go! Congratulations on deploying your first hackathon website 🚀
+
+## How to Edit Content
+
+All of the content for this template is built from markdown, a plain text format that is used to build the web content!
+
+For more on markdown, please see this [markdown tutorial](https://www.markdowntutorial.com/)
+
+### Editing Content on Github
+
+If you are interested in editing the content directly on the github website, please see [this tutorial](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/start-your-journey/hello-world) that walks through Github
+
+### Editing Content Locally
+
+If you are interested in editing/rendering this content locally, please follow these steps:
+
+1. Move into your directory of the content
+
+```bash
+cd hackathon-template-github
+```
+
+2. Install a conda environment using the environment file*
+
+* if you are new to conda environments, please see this [getting started with conda content from the software carpentries](https://edcarp.github.io/introduction-to-conda-for-data-scientists/02-working-with-environments/index.html)
+
+```bash
+conda env create -f environment.yml
+conda activate hackathon-template-github-dev
+```
+
+3. Build your content locally using myst (and open the link returned)
+
+```bash
+myst start
+```
+
+Running this command will start up your website, which should look something like:
+
+```👉  http://localhost:3000  👈```
+
+4. Edit your content
+
+Now, you can open your README.md in your editor of choice, and add/remove/change the content, which will render immediately within your browser
+
+
+
+## How to propose projects
+
+For each project, submit a Project Proposal to this repository, identifying the scope of that topic. This will help ensure each project has a plan that can be executed during the event.
+
+To submit topics of interest use the GitHub issue form below:
+
+mgrover1/hackathon-template-github/issues/new/choose
+
+1. Select the project proposal issue template.
