This is a blog of technical articles relating to ProSuite, ArcGIS, Programming, and GIS in general. It is mostly a mnemonic device for The ProSuite Authors, but if anybody else finds it useful, that would please us even more.
Built with Jekyll and hosted on GitHub Pages.
- Git clone or pull this repository.
- Articles are markdown files in the _posts (published) or
_drafts directory. Naming convention: use
kebab-case-name.mdin _drafts andyyyy-mm-dd-kebab-case-name.mdin _posts, whereyyyy-mm-ddthe date of first publication. Do not change the file name of published articles. - Place images used by articles in the images folder and
reference them as
. Use as specific a name for the image as possible. Use of the alt text is highly recommended. - Local preview requires that you have installed Ruby and Jekyll. Run the serve.bat file, which invokes jekyll with the proper arguments for previewing: it watches the file system for changes, automatically rebuilds the site, and publishes the site at localhost:4000.
- Once satisfied,
git committo the master branch andgit pushto the GitHub repo. - GitHub Pages should now automatically run the site through Jekyll and publish the resulting site. Verify at https://prosuite.github.io/techblog after a few minutes. Remember that posts in _drafts will not be published.
Hint: Visual Studio Code has good support for Markdown. Install the markdownlint extension to help with consistent formatting (see the .markdownlint.json file in this repository).
It is also possible to write articles directly on the github.com site.
