NEBULA-content-template

This template repository can be used to create an easily maintainable, version-controllable, web-based lesson collection to be deployed with the NEBULA framework.

Repo instantiation

To create a custom-made lesson repository, click the Use this template button located at the top right of this page.

Configure GitHub Pages

After instantiation, you need to set up your repo's GitHub Pages. Follow these steps:

• Go to Settings (located on the top toolbar), and then click on Pages.
• Under the Branch option, select the gh-pages branch and then click Save. Use the /root folder as the default.
• Return to your main repository page.
• In the About section of your repository details, find the Website field and select Use your GitHub Pages website.

Add the title of your lesson and additional sections

This can be configured through the config.json file. Below is an example of its contents:

{
  "publicProps": {
    "title": "Add a title for your lesson/project",
    "baseURL": "NEBULA-content-template",
    "repoName": "NEBULA-content-template",
    "repoOwner": "esciencecenter-digital-skills",
    "organization": "Netherlands eScience Center",
    "categoryOrder": ["Category1", "Category2"]
  }
}

You can modify the "title" field to reflect your specific topic and add new sections to your lesson under "categoryOrder".

The "repoName" and "baseURL" fields are automatically updated to the name of your new repository using the generate_config.yml file. The corresponding workflow is triggered only once upon repository instantiation and is subsequently disabled.

Adding new modules

This repository includes dummy model modules as templates that you can follow to create your own modules. Please, follow the recommended formats and file extensions. See also NEBULA-docs for information on how to create new modules.
