devopsdays-assets

This repository is a location for larger binary files that can be referenced by pages on the devopsdays.org website but aren't served up directly.

Once files are merged into this repo, you can access them at https://assets.devopsdays.org/PATH_TO_FILES (example: https://assets.devopsdays.org/events/2020/chicago/2020-chicago-devopsdays-prospectus.pdf)

If you would like to host your prospectus, or other large PDF files that describe your event, please place them in this repository and link to them from your page.

Please note that this repo isn't intended to hold speakers' slides. Numerous more-suitable slide hosting and file hosting options exist. Supported options are documented in the theme reference.

Adding assets

To add your events assets without downloading the entire repo, follow these steps via the GitHub GUI

Requirements:

• You will need a GitHub account, and be logged in
• You will need to have the files you want to upload on your machine

Steps

1. Fork the main repo to your GitHub account
2. Navigate to the events and the [year] for your event

3. Create a branch by selecting the branch dropdown, and typing in a branch for your changes, i.e. jerdog/[year]-event-name-assets where [year] is the event year

4. On your machine, create a folder for your city, i.e. kansas-city, and then place the file(s) you want to upload there
5. Select the Add file dropdown in the upper right, and select

6. Drag the folder that you created on your local machine to this window. Once uploaded, if you uploaded the folder, then you should see it displayed like this:

7. Add a commit message, something short but descriptive like adding assets for [event name], select the Commit directly to the <branch you created> branch option, and select Commit changes

8. You will be returned to your repo view, with a message displayed about your branch having recent pushes, and an option to Compare & pull request.... Choose that option.

9. You will now be at a screen to initiate the request to pull your changes into the main devopsdays assets repo. Fill out the Pull Request title following the format of [city initials - year] <short descriptive title>

10. If the pull request is a draft, meaning you still have more to add, then select from the dropdown Create draft pull request. Otherwise, choose Create pull request

Now your pull request is ready for the devopsdays staff to review and merge.
