HOWTO blog

Hugo blog template for Hacktoberfest HOWTO. The goal of this site is to be a collaborative guide to participating in open source, espeically during the month of October, when Hacktoberfest provides additional incentives to new developers.

This site uses the Hugo Terminal Theme and uses a GitHub Action to auto-deploy the site to GitHub pages, at hacktoberfesthowto.github.io

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE:

This repo is the source code for a static site, written using Hugo and Markdown. Instead of installing the framework, I set up the repo to run in Gitpod.

What you'll want to do:

Option 1: Make your change inside of Gitpod and preview the changes

• Make a fork of this repo to your local user.
• Sign up for a free Gitpod account at gitpod.io. You can use your GitHub user to sign in.
• Open your fork in Gitpod (it may be useful to install the Gitpod extension for your browser for this). -- The URL to open will look something like https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/yourusername/howto-blog
• Make the needed or desired changes.
• You should be able to see a preview of this inside of Gitpod.
• Commit the changes and create a pull request.

Option 2: Make the change directly in GitHub.

• Make a fork of this repo to your local user.
• Go to the file you want to edit. Click the pen to edit the file, or press"." to open Visual Studio Code inside the web browser.
• Make the needed or desired changes.
• Commit the changes and create a pull request.
• Have a respectful code review and hopefully the changes get merged!
