Source repository for the tskit tutorials site, https://tskit-dev.github.io/tutorials

UNDER CONSTRUCTION: This is a very early version, and really just a way to explore some options for presenting this content.

Organisation

The docs directory is a GitHub pages site. This means that all the Markdown files in this directory are automatically converted to HTML and made available on the website. The source content for each 'chapter' is a Jupyter notebook in the notebooks directory. Notebooks are then converted to Markdown using nbconvert, and placed in the docs directory.

Converting a notebook

To convert a notebook to markdown, use the following:

$ jupyter nbconvert --to markdown --output-dir docs/ notebooks/NOTEBOOK_NAME.ipynb

When adding a new notebook to the site, you need to then add the files to git:

$ git add docs/NOTEBOOK_NAME*

Finally, update the docs/README.md to insert a link to the new page.

TODO

• Need standardised titles including authorship.
• Need some sort of citation mechanism. Perhaps this?
• Main page needs some content explaining what the site is for.
• Better template? We can use any Jekyll template, so it's quite flexible.
• It would also be nice to have a download link to the original notebook.
