Developing
Committing to this repository requires signing your commits (git config commit.gpgsign true) unless you are making edits via the GitHub.com text editor interface. As of August 2022 the preferred signing method is SSH commit signatures, but GPG signing is also acceptable. You should add your signing key to your GitHub profile.
With mkdocs-material
- Install required packages:
pip install mkdocs-material - Run a local preview of the English site:
./run.sh --cmd=mkdocs
With mkdocs-material-insiders
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.
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 - Enable SSH commit verification with our local
.allowed_signersfile:git config gpg.ssh.allowedSignersFile .allowed_signers - Install Python 3.12.
- Install pipenv:
pip install pipenv - Install dependencies:
pipenv install --dev(install Pillow and CairoSVG as well to generate social cards) - Serve the site locally:
./run.sh --insiders(setCARDS=trueto generate social cards)- The site will be available at
http://localhost:8000 - You can build the site locally with
./run.sh --insiders --build - This version of the site should be identical to the live, production version
- The site will be available at
If you commit to main with commits signed with your SSH key, you should add your SSH key to .allowed_signers in this repo.
Local Translated Site Builds
- Install the Crowdin CLI Tool (
brew install crowdin) - Set the
CROWDIN_PERSONAL_TOKENenvironment variable to your Crowdin personal access token - Run
crowdin downloadin the root of this repo - Serve the site locally:
./run.sh --insiders --lang=fr(replacing fr with the appropriate language in /config)
Translations downloaded from Crowdin are .gitignore'd, so any local changes to the translated site cannot be committed to this repo. Actual modifications need to be made on Crowdin. As an alternative to steps 1-3, you can copy the folders from privacyguides/i18n to the root of this repo to obtain the translated files.
Releasing
It is required to create a GitHub release to publish the current site to privacyguides.org. The current main branch can be previewed at https://main.staging.privacyguides.dev prior to release.
- Create a new tag:
git tag -s YYYY.MM.DD -m 'Some message'- Tag numbering:
YYYY.MM.DD- if two+ releases are published on the same day, append short commit sha to next release, e.g.YYYY.MM.DD-6aa14e8 - Enable GPG tag signing by default (
git config tag.gpgSign true) to avoid missing signatures
- Tag numbering:
- Push the tag to GitHub:
git push --tags - A GitHub Release will be automatically created and deployed to the live site.
- You may wish to manually check or edit the release changelog/title after it is published for accuracy.
