MSYS2 Website
Overview
This website is written in Markdown and gets built to a static website using
mkdocs and a modified version of the mkdocs-material
theme. The main branch of this
repo is the source branch and any new commits will auto deploy a new build to
the main branch using a GitHub
action. The main branch is
connected to GitHub pages and is reachable under
https://msys2.github.io and https://www.msys2.org. Changes to the source
branch usually take a minute or two until they are live.
Development
For small changes:
- Just use the online editor on GitHub and use the Markdown preview to inspect your changes
- Open a PR with your changes in case you don't have commit rights
- Note: The Markdown dialect and extensions understood by mkdocs and GitHub is slightly different, so double check that the deployed website matches what you expected
- Note: Every page on the website has a small "edit" icon in the top right corner which leads you straight to the online editor for that page
For larger changes:
poetry installpoetry run mkdocs serve- Access http://127.0.0.1:8000 - any changes to the sources should be immediately visible in your browser
- Open a PR with your changes or just push them if you have commit rights
