Tools

PHP TestFest Console Application

composer create-project --stability dev phpc/testfest
cd testfest/
./bin/testfest

Website

The PHP TestFest website is maintained in the docs/ directory in this repository. It is served using GitHub Pages. When pull requests are merged to master, any changes to docs/ are immediately deployed.

All content may be written in GitHub-flavored Markdown and HTML. For some examples of how you may use the site theme, take a look at Generic (docs/theme-example/generic.md) and Elements (docs/theme-example/elements.md).

There are a few main sections of the website where contributions are greatly needed:

Tutorials

Take a look at other tutorials in docs/_tutorials/ to get a feel for the format of tutorial files. Everything is in Markdown, but there's some YAML front-matter you'll need to add. Just create a new Markdown file in docs/_tutorials/, and you're on your way!

Be sure you have permission to use any images included with your post. It's best if the images provided use a Creative Commons license or are in the Public Domain. A good place to look for free-to-use images is Unsplash.
Resources

To add more items to the list of resources, edit docs/_data/resources.yml. It's a YAML array with specific properties. Take a look at some of the other items listed there to see what properties you might need to specify.
Participating Groups

If your group is participating in PHP TestFest, add it to the list. Edit docs/_data/groups/2017.yml to add your group to the list for 2017. It's a YAML array; take a look at the properties used by some of the other groups listed to see what you can specify.
Mentors

If you're interested in being a mentor to a group during PHP TestFest, feel free to add yourself to the list for 2017. Edit docs/_data/mentors/2017.yml, specifying any of the properties you feel are important for others to know about you. You may also note whether you're available to mentor locally, remotely, or able to travel for a group.
Other content

We can also use some help filling out and maintaining the content of the following pages:
- Getting Started (docs/start.md)
- Organize a PHP TestFest Event (docs/lead.md)
- Be a Mentor (docs/mentors.md)
