How the book is made#

This website is written in markdown and jupyter notebooks files, which are converted to html using tools from TeachBooks. The files are stored on a public GitHub repository. The website can be viewed at https://github.com/biomechday/biomechday.github.io.

To recreate the website you have two options (more information in the TeachBooks manual:

  • In the GitHub interface: fork this repository, enable Github Pages from the source GitHub actions (Settings - Code and automation - Pages - Build and deployment - Source - GitHub Actions), enable workflows (Actions - I understand my workflows, go ahead and enable them) and run the call-deploy-book workflow (Actions - call-deploy-book - Run workflow - Run workflow). The website is released on the URL as shown on the workflow summary when the workflow has finished (Actions - call-deploy-book - call-deploy-book - Summary).

  • On your own computer: clone this repository, install the required packages (pip install -r requirements.txt) and build the book (teachbooks build book). The website is stored locally in book/_build/index.html.
