The 18F Hub is a Jekyll-based documentation platform that aims to help 18F and other development teams organize and easily share their information, and to enable easy exploration of the connections between team members, projects, and skill sets. It aims to serve as the go-to place for all of a team's working information, whether that information is integrated into the Hub directly or provided as links to other sources. It also serves as a lightweight tool that other teams can experiment with and deploy with a minimum of setup.
The internal 18F Hub is hosted at https://hub.18f.us/ and the public Hub staging area is hosted at https://hub.18f.us/hub.
See the 18F blog post announcing the Hub for more details about the vision behind the Hub and the goals it aims to achieve.
The main Git repository is https://github.com/18F/hub and the primary maintainer (for now) is @mbland. The goal is to eventually hand ownership over to the Documentation Working Group, or to the 18F team as a whole.
It takes less than a minute to set up a hands-on demo, which we hope will inspire other teams to develop their own Hubs, publish snippets, and organize working groups/guilds/grouplets.
You will need Ruby version 2.1.5 or greater. To
run your own local instance at http://localhost:4000:
$ git clone git@github.com:18F/hub.git
$ cd hub
$ ./go init
$ ./go serve
See the "Hub 101" docs either in this repository, served locally, or on the 18F Public Hub for details and tips on how to set up and work with the Hub development environment.
- Fork the repo ( https://github.com/18F/hub/fork ). If you're an 18F team member, you'll likely find it easier to clone the repo instead of forking it (
git clone --recursive git@github.com:18F/hub.git). The recursive clone ensures that you'll grab the contents of private submodules. - Create your feature branch (
git checkout -b my-new-feature) - Commit your changes (
git commit -am 'Add some feature') - Push to the branch (
git push origin my-new-feature) - Create a new Pull Request
Feel free to ping @mbland with any questions you may have, especially if the current documentation should've addressed your needs, but didn't.
