GitHub template
To get started making your Jupyter Book with our functionalities, fork our template book https://github.com/TeachBooks/template :
Fill in a repository name, this name will be used in the future url of your book:
Set up the build of your website using GitHub pages by selecting under Settings - Pages - Build and deployment - Source - GitHub Actions:
Enable the predefined workflow to publish your book under Actions - I understand my workflows, go ahead an enable them:
Edit a file under Code - book - A file of your choice - Edit in place, in the example below book/intro.md is edited:
Make your edit and Commit changes to main branch:
Wait a few minutes for the website to be deployed, if you're curious, have a look at the progress under Actions - All wokflows:
When the workflow has finished, visit your build book at https://<username>.github.io/<repository_name> (case sensitive). For our example it is: https://dummystudent-Tom.github.io/My_own_book :
It is possible to have multiple versions of a book published at once, by creating another Git branch (e.g. draft or dev).
For each branch, the respective book is published at https://<username>.github.io/<bookname>/<branchname>.
Technical note: for convenience, just .../<bookname>/ redirects to .../<bookname>/book/, which is itself an alias (a symlink) for
.../<bookname>/main/.
To learn more about how we do this, please see the GitHub Actions documentation and our deployment pipeline configuration file .github/workflows/deploy-book-ghpages.yml here.
