Developing
This website uses mkdocs-material-insiders which offers additional functionality over the open-source mkdocs-material project. For obvious reasons we cannot distribute access to the insiders repository. You can install the website locally with the open-source version of mkdocs-material:
- Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org.gitgit submodule initgit submodule update docs/assets/brand
- Install Python 3.6+
- Install dependencies:
pip install mkdocs mkdocs-material mkdocs-static-i18n mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin typing-extensions - Serve the site locally:
mkdocs serve- The site will be available at
http://localhost:8000 - You can build the site locally with
mkdocs build - Your local version of the site may be missing functionality, which is expected. If you are submitting a PR, please ensure the automatic preview generated for your PR looks correct, as that site will be built with the production insiders build.
- The site will be available at
Team members should clone the repository with mkdocs-material-insiders directly. This method is identical to production:
- Clone this repository and submodules:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org.git - Install Python 3.6+
- Install pipenv:
pip install pipenv - Install dependencies:
pipenv install --dev - Serve the site locally:
pipenv run mkdocs serve- The site will be available at
http://localhost:8000 - You can build the site locally with
pipenv run mkdocs build - This version of the site should be identical to the live, production version
- The site will be available at
Releasing
- Create a new tag:
git tag -s v2.X.X -m 'Some message'- View existing tags
- Tag numbering: Increment the MINOR (2nd) number when making significant changes (adding/deleting pages, etc.), increment the PATCH (3rd) number when making minor changes (typos, bug fixes). Probably leave the MAJOR number at 2 until a massive redesign (v1 -> v2 was the Jekyll to MkDocs transition).
- Push the tag to GitHub:
git push --tags - Create a new release selecting the new tag
- Title the release the same as the tag version number without the
v, i.e.2.X.X- For more significant releases, add a short title, for example 2.3.0 - Localization Support or 2.2.0 - Removing Social Networks
- GitHub should let you auto-generate release notes based on PR titles
- Mark more significant changes in bold, see 2.3.0 for example
- Title the release the same as the tag version number without the
- Publish release, it will be deployed to the live site automatically
- When publishing more significant releases (generally any with a MINOR version increment) check the "Create a discussion for this release" box to post an announcement
