Xinghu Qin's research websit

Setting up the website to serve locally

We can serve the website locally by using the following steps:

Make sure you have gem and bundler installed by following the "Install Jekyll from bundler" instructions after you clone the repository
Run bundle install in the directory with the jekyll site
Run bundle exec jekyll build
To serve up the site locally, run bundle exec jekyll serve --incremental
Edit away and see the changes you make locally before you commit!

_pages/ - contains all of the individual pages that make up the site (a lot of these are created using a mix of markdown and html)
_data/ - contains many *.yml files that are used when updates occur in terms of lab news or personnel

news.yml - yaml file with current news
publist.yml - yaml file containing list of publications in reverse chronological order
team_members.yml - contains information about all current personnel in the lab

images/ - holds all of the images that are used on the site (for software, lab members, etc)
_includes/ - defines html files for headers and footers for every page

All of the posts are held in the _posts/ directory. There are a couple of example posts in there, please be sure to follow the same format.

Posts are written in markdown and have a file naming convention of [date]-[title].md (for examples see the _posts) directory.

Each post also includes yaml topmatter that specifies the layout, title, date, and keywords of the post.

Every time a is commit pushed to the master branch, the website will be deployed to xinghuq.github.io.

This website is powered by Jekyll and some Bootstrap, Bootwatch.

This website is copyed and modified from Novembre lab website.
