SauerSauce: Content Contribution

Nov 9, 2018 • Salatiel (community) • general

Informations


SauerSauce is basically a repository in github with an appearance of site/blog.
I decided to adopt this Wiki style because I think it fits better with the platform I’m using (Github Pages).
Well, like in a classic wiki, you can change/add pages and then post them after other people verify your modifications.
You do not need to follow the same rules of a “real” wiki (like keeping the text formal or neutral).
Do not forget to cite the sources.

There is no embedded html editor, this means you must format the page manually (or use an external online editor).

We use Jekyll to take care of the organization of the posts, pages, descriptions and everything that is impossible to update manually.
(Jekyll is a simple, blog-aware, static site generator for personal, project, or organization sites.)

The site was completely made from scratch by me, my skills are not many, so feel free to improve or fix something that is out of place.
As you may have noticed, this simple theme with strange colors is based on the sauerbraten.org color palette.

How to contribute


Create an account on Github
Follow the steps:


Step 1:
Fork the repository (you only need to do this once)
By forking the repository, it will be added to your account, and any modifications you make will be sent to it.
Go to your forked repository: https://github.com/YOURUSERNAME/sauer-sauce.github.io

Step 2:
Create or send files (you need to select the folder first)
For example if you want to create a new post, go to the _posts folder and create a new file:

Do not forget to put the date in the title, otherwise your pull request can be denied.

Step 3:
Sending a Pull request
After adding your modifications, it’s time to send them to the original repository
This part is very intuitive, you will see all the files you have modified, add a title and description so your Pull Request can be recognized…

If you followed all the steps, I should receive your Pull request and accept it as soon as I check your modifications

Do not forget to update your repository always before sending/creating a file!
