🗺️ Finding Your Way

This repository contains three primary resources:

Our current on-demand courses can be found in the paths directory
The translations of our popular Git Cheat Sheets can be found in the downloads directory. We're always looking for more. P.S. Right now the PDF generation is a manual process so please mention @github/services-training for assistance in getting your translation moved to the PDF.
The recommended Training Path can be found here.

Our Content Philosophy

We are eager to create materials that are easy to use and follow! To that end, here are a few guidelines we ask you to keep in mind:

We focus on providing clear, step-by-step instructions for completing an activity, giving the learner the opportunity to study the concept in greater detail with the Tell Me Why feature.
We focus on minimalism.
We use Jekyll and Markdown.
The theme for the on-demand training is Minimal Mistakes and has some amazing documentation.

Building and Packaging

Building and Testing Locally

When you are ready to test your changes, you will want to build the repository locally. This is fully automated through a series of shell scripts based the scripts to rule them all!

To perform a build of the materials perform the following:

Run script/setup
Run script/server.
- When successful, the script will initiate a local server at http://127.0.0.1:4000/on-demand.
Simply paste that into your favorite web-browser and you will be ready to test.

Packaging for Viewing Behind Your Firewall

If you'd like to have a copy of the files to be served from a web server inside of your firewall, start by running script/package.

Run script/package to create a release tarball. This will be in the format release-XXXXXXX.tgz for you to take wherever you want.
To test this looks okay, create some folders mkdir -p test_site/kit.
Untar the release, tar -xzf release-XXXXXXX.tgz -C test_site/kit.
Switch into the test_site directory, cd test_site.
View the site with python -m SimpleHTTPServer. Note: Some servers are obviously more advanced than others and can handle redirects, smart recognition of .html files, etc
