Lives in Transit content wrangler

This repository links to all topics developed for Lives in Transit. The repository organises each topic as a submodule, so that the latest content for each topic can be harvested with a single git clone command.

Because topics are submodules, cloning this repository with git clone https://github.com/uzh/lit-content will not actually clone the content from the topic submodules. If you want to clone this repo and all the topics at the same time, use:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/uzh/lit-content

metadata.json

The metadata.json file contains information about each topic. Some fields within this JSON will be used during the deployment process for Lives in Transit and its test instance.

Adding a topic

If you want to add a topic, and you know how to use git, we suggest:

1. Forking this repository
2. Validating and pretty-printing your JSON content
3. Adding a submodule that points to your content (the name should start with lit-)
4. Adding an entry in metadata.json, which maps the repo name to metadata about your topic
5. Submit a pull request

If you don't know git, just create an issue and provide your content as a link or a download. We might ask for some metadata (i.e. your name, collaborators etc.). Once we have everything we need, we will set your content up as a repository, and link it to this repo as a submodule.

Gotchas

This repo will ignore any hidden folders in the root directory, due to the way the marugoto deployment works. Bear this in mind!
