Write: Windows Addendum

GitHub account

Get yourself a github account. Get someone else to give you write access to the repo.

Getting git

Install Github for Windows.

Getting the files

• Launch GitHub for windows
• Click the + in the top left, then choose iccavingrepo->icccsite.
• Github will ask you where to download the repo to - I suggest My Documents. It will download all the files.

Writing new trip reports

To make a new trip report, copy template.md (in the root of the repo) to the appropriate folder,

content/{trips/tours}/{location}/

and then rename to something sensible like yorkshire-2015-09-02.md (i.e. following the {location}-{date in YYYY-MM-DD format}.md sort of pattern).

You can then edit them using MarkdownPad. This is cute cos it shows what the text will look like on the right hand page, which is useful for spotting obvious mistakes.

Committing new trip reports

Once you're happy with your trip report, you can commit your change:

• Go to Github For Windows, and it should have '1 uncommitted change' in the top bar.
• Click there and enter a description of your commit
• Click commit to master.
• Click sync in the top right.

Next you might want to build the site. Or tell someone else to do it.
