Usage:

Building html pages locally

The libraries needed in these Jupyter notebooks are listed in file requirements.txt. In addition, to compile the *.ipynb and *.rst files to html pages, the following libraries are needed:

• nbsphinx (conda install -c conda-forge nbsphinx)
• sphinx_rtd_theme (conda install sphinx_rtd_theme)

Then you can compile the html pages locally with:

make html

The html pages will be stored under _build/html/ folder.

Automatic deployment of html pages to GitHub Pages by Travis

Create a new branch for your repository with name gh-pages. This is where the html pages will be stored. They will be visible at https://<account>.github.io/data-analysis-with-python-spring-2019/

GitHub can be instructed to notify Travis CI every time something is pushed to the git repository. Travis will then pull the most recent versions of notebooks from GitHub, convert them to html, and then push them to the gh-pages branch of your GitHub repository. They will then be visible at github.io.

To set up this automation, follow the next instructions:

In Github choose settings -> Developer settings -> Personal access tokens and generate an access token and copy it.

In Travis CI (travis-ci.com) select the correct repository and add an environment variable with key ´GITHUB_TOKEN´ and as value the secret token you got from github. This allows Travis to push the html pages to the gh-pages branch of the github repository.

You may at some point need to install the Travis CI application to github.
