This project contains documents related to the Aegir Cooperative. It uses mkdocs to build the site at http://coop.aegirproject.org. To get started contributing to this project, fork it on Github. Then install mkdocs and clone this repo:
$ brew install python; # For OSX users only
$ sudo aptitude install python-pip # For Debian/Ubuntu users only
$ pip install mkdocs
$ git clone https://github.com/aegir.coop/aegir-coop-docs.git
$ cd aegir-coop-docs
$ mkdocs serve
Your local aegir-coop-docs site should now be available for browsing: http://127.0.0.1:8000/. When you find a typo, an error, unclear or missing explanations or instructions, hit ctrl-c, to stop the server, and start editing. Find the page you’d like to edit. Make your changes, commit and push them, then start a pull request:
$ git remote add sandbox https://github.com/<username>/aegir-coop-docs.git
$ git checkout -b fix_typo
$ vi index.md # Add/edit/remove whatever you see fit. Be bold!
$ mkdocs build --clean; mkdocs serve # Go check your changes. We’ll wait...
$ git diff # Make sure there aren’t any unintended changes.
diff --git a/index.md b/index.md
index 88f9974..e69de29 100644
...
$ git commit -am”Fixed typo.” # Useful commit message are a good habit.
$ git push sandbox fix_typo
Visit your fork on Github and start a Pull Request.
To update the live site with changes, mkdocs provides a simple command to do so:
$ mkdocs gh-deploy --clean
Since this is a shared/distributed document, you'll want to both git pull and commit/push regularly so that we can all keep up-to-date with changes.
