PyLadies Chicago Website

PyLadies Chicago website is powered by Netlify using the PyLadies Netlify website template. The page is hosted via GitHub pages.

The PyLadies Chicago chapter is organized by Lorena Mesa and Sand Ip.

Setting up you website with Netlify

1. Fork the repo.
2. We advise replacing master with main as the default branch.
3. Register for a Netlify account. Open source teams qualify for free OSS accounts, use your pyladies chapter email address when creating your account. You'll need to host a Netlify badge on your website which is already included in the emplate. Please note that any overages will be additionally charged.
4. Setup your site with these directions. As this is a simple html and css website there is no need for custom build steps.
5. If you have requested a custom domain you can configure that within your Netlify site.

Local Development

If you'd like to see your changes locally you can use Python3 to serve up the content by:

$ cd /root-of-forked-directory
$ python -m http.server # Defaults to port 8000, you can change by providing an additional integer for the desired port

Hosting your website on GitHub pages

GitHub provides a free hosted page for each GitHub user available at github_username.github.io. The custom domain is defined in the CNAME file.
