The only file you should need to edit in this folder is conda/environment.yml. This file defines the set of conda-packages needed to render the full website.
Although we refer to "conda" environments, we recommend using mamba as a drop in replacement for the conda package manager. Mamba performs operations in parallel, which we've found to be important for creating complex hackweek environments involving many packages!
Lockfiles ensure that everyone working on this project has an identical development environment, whether working on a personal computer or running on our hosted JupyterHub cloud infrastructure.
If you edit conda/environment.yml to change package versions or add new ones, be sure to re-lock the environment by running ./lock-environment.sh:
mamba remove --name hackweek --all
mamba env create --name hackweek --file conda-linux-64.lock.yml
mamba activate hackweek
