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:

  1. Clone this repository:
    • git clone https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org.git
    • git submodule init
    • git submodule update docs/assets/brand
  2. Install Python 3.6+
  3. Install dependencies: pip install mkdocs mkdocs-material mkdocs-static-i18n mkdocs-git-revision-date-localized-plugin typing-extensions
  4. 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.

Team members should clone the repository with mkdocs-material-insiders directly. This method is identical to production:

  1. Clone this repository and submodules: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org.git
  2. Install Python 3.6+
  3. Install pipenv: pip install pipenv
  4. Install dependencies: pipenv install --dev
  5. 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

Releasing

  1. 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).
  2. Push the tag to GitHub: git push --tags
  3. 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
    • GitHub should let you auto-generate release notes based on PR titles
      • Mark more significant changes in bold, see 2.3.0 for example
  4. 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
