Contributing

Developing

  1. Clone this repository and submodules: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org
  2. Install Python 3.6+
  3. Install pipenv: pip install pipenv
  4. Start a pipenv shell: pipenv shell
  5. Install dependencies: pipenv install --dev
  6. Serve the site locally: mkdocs serve --config-file mkdocs.production.yml
    • The site will be available at http://localhost:8000
    • You can build the site locally with mkdocs build --config-file mkdocs.production.yml
    • 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
